Question : 7
Total: 12
A metal nitrate 'A' on heating gives a metal oxide along with evolution of a brown coloured gas ' B ' and a colourless gas, which helps in burning. Aqueous solution of ' A ' when reacted with potassium iodide forms a yellow precipitate.
(a) Identify 'A ' and ' B '
(b) Name the types of the reactions involved in the above statement .
(a) Identify '
(b) Name the types of the reactions involved in the above statement .
Solution:
The metal in compound A is lead ( Pb ) . Therefore, we can write
Reaction 1 as:
2 Pb ( NO 3 ) 2
2 PbO + 4 NO 2 + O 2
Reaction 2:
Pb ( NO 3 ) 2 + 2 KI → Pbl 2 + 2 KNO 3
Compound A-Lead nitrate:Pb ( NO 3 ) 2
Compound B-Nitrogen dioxide-NO 2
Reaction 1 is thermal decomposition, whereas, reaction 2 is double decomposition reaction.
Reaction 1 as:
Reaction 2:
Compound A-Lead nitrate:
Compound B-Nitrogen dioxide-
Reaction 1 is thermal decomposition, whereas, reaction 2 is double decomposition reaction.
