Q 1. Which of the statements about the reaction below are incorrect?
(a) Lead is getting reduced.
(b) Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised.
(c) Carbon is getting oxidised.
(d) Lead oxide is getting reduced.
(i) (a) and (b)
(ii) (a) and (c)
(iii) (a), (b) and (c)
(iv) all
In the above reaction, PbO reduces to Pb and C(carbon) get oxidised to carbon dioxide.
Hence, statement (a) and (b) are correct.
Thus, option (i) is correct.
Guys, All the options are wrong!!!
The correct answer is,
lead oxide is getting reduced and carbon is getting oxidised. We have to mention the whole element while mentioning about site of reduction as well as oxidation. Example: If PbO+H2----->Pb+H2O
We shouldn't just say that lead is getting reduced and hydrogen gets oxidised. We MUST say that lead "OXIDE" is getting reduced and hydrogen is getting oxidised.
The ans will be :
(A) lead is getting reduced
(B) Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised both (a) and
(b) are correct
