Question

White metal nitrate powder decomposes on Strong heating and releases nitrogen dioxide and oxygen also leaves a solid metal oxide as the residue write the balanced chemical equation along with the physical state of reactants and the product

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation:When lead(II) nitrate is heated, it decomposes into lead (II) oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2Pb(NO 3 ) 2(s)→2PbO(s)+4NO 2 +O 2(g)

2Pb(NO 3 ) 2(s)→2PbO(s)+4NO 2 +O 2(g) Lead (II) nitrate is also called lead nitrate or plumbous nitrate. The heating of lead nitrate does produce toxic fumes of lead and nitrogen dioxide. The temperature at which this compound decomposes is 878 degrees Fahrenheit.
