Question

Which gas is evolved when PbO₂ is treated with conc HNO₃?

Moderate

A

NO₂
B

O₂
C

N₂
D

N₂O

Solution

PbO₂ is powerful oxidising agent and liberates O₂ when treated with acids.
$\begin{array}{l} {PbO}_{2} + 2 {HNO}_{3} ⟶ Pb {({NO}_{3})}_{2} + H_{2} O + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} \\ {PbO}_{2} + 4 HCl ⟶ {PbCl}_{2} + 2 H_{2} O + {Cl}_{2} \end{array}$
