- B2Pb(NO3)2(s) 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
- CN2(g) + O2(g) 2NO(g)
- DCl2(g) + 2OH(aq) ClO(aq) + Cl(aq) + 4H2O(l)
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Decomposition redox reaction leads to breakdown of a compound into two or more compounds at least one of which must be in the elemental state with change in oxidation number.
$$\mathrm{2Pb{\left( {N\mathop {{O_3}}\limits^{2 - } } \right)_2}(s) \to 2PbO(s) + 4N{O_2}(g) + \mathop {{O_2}}\limits^0 (g)}$$
