Lead nitrate powder is heated in a boiling tube. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reactants and products

Answer»

Lead nitrate on heating decomposes to lead monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. 

2Pb (NO3)2 +∆ → 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2 

NO2 is liberated, along with oxygen, as a reddish brown gas. The residue left is lead monoxide (brown). It is a decomposition reaction.
