Question

which of the following statements about the reaction below are incorrect?
2PbO + C => 2Pb + CO2(g)
a. lead is getting reduced
b. carbon dioxide is getting oxidised.
c. carbon is getting oxidised
d. lead oxide is getting reduced ​

Answer 1

Answer:

OPTION B IS CORRECT

Explanation:

Because carbon is getting oxidised not carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Answer :

The incorrect statements are:-

• Lead is getting reduced (a) & carbon dioxide is oxidised (b).

Explanation:

• The given reaction is a redox reaction in which lead oxide is reduced (to lead) and carbon is oxidised (to carbon dioxide).
• In (a), it is given that lead is reduced which is incorrect as lead oxide is actually reduced (given above). In (b), it is given that, carbon is dioxide is oxidised. This again is incorrect as carbon is actually oxidised.
• Hence, the incorrect options are a & b.

Additional Information :

Redox reaction (class 10):-

• A reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously is known as a redox reaction. In other words, a reaction in which one reactant gets oxidised while the other gets reduced is called a redox reaction.
