Question

Write balanced equations for the following reactions ⎯ Preparation of lead carbonate from lead oxide. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lead carbonate can be converted to lead oxide at a temperature of approximately 308 °C. Two intermediates, PbCO3·PbO and PbCO3·2PbO, were formed, while temperature was below 308 °C. However, when temperature was above 308 °C, almost all lead carbonate was decomposed to lead oxide.
