Question

Which of the statements about the reaction below are correct?
2PbO(s) + C(s) + 2Pb(s) + Co,(g)
a Lead is reduced Carbon dioxide is oxidised.
(c) Carbon is oxidised.
(d) Lead oxide is reduced.
(a) and (b)
(ii) (a) and (c)
(ii) (a), (b) and (c)
(iv) all​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the above reaction, PbO reduces to Pb and C(carbon) get oxidised to carbon dioxide.

Hence, statement (a) and (b) are correct.

Thus, option (i) is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the given equation lead is reduced from 2 to 0 ( oxidation state)

carbon is oxidized from 0 to2
