Question

Which of the statements about the reaction below are incorrect?
2PbO(s) + C(s) → 2Pb(s) + CO2(g)
(a) Lead is getting reduced.
(b) Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised.
(c) Carbon is getting oxidised.
(d) Lead oxide is getting reduced.
(i) (a) and (b)
(ii) (a) and (c)
(iii) (a), (b) and (c)
(iv) all

If the answer is (a), then tell why ?
Because in some answers it is written: " PbO is getting reduced and C is getting oxidised in the above equation.
So correct answer is (a)"
But the question is asking what is incorrect ?
Then how are the 2 statements incorrect ?
Do tell..

Answer 1

actually lead oxide is getting reduced and carbon is getting oxidised which is correct statements.
but in the question they are asking which is incorrect so it would be lead is reduced and carbon dioxide is oxidised.
Hence the correct option would be(i)

Answer 2

Answer:

As statement (a) and (b) are incorrect, answer (i) is correct.
