Detailed Solution

 Nitrogen dioxide gas are brown fumes that are produced when a colourless lead salt is heated.
Lead nitrate is a colourless salt, when heated, decomposes into three products: lead monoxide, nitrogen dioxide gas, and oxygen. Lead monoxide is a yellow compound, and brown fumes are produced as a result of nitrogen dioxide formation. The reaction involved is:
2Pb(NO3)2(s) + heat → 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
