Which of the following statements about the reaction below are incorrect?PbO (s)+C (s)→2Pb (s)+CO2 (g)a)Lead is getting reduced. b)Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised.c)Carbon is getting oxidised.d)Lead oxide is getting reduced.
Question
Which of the following statements about the reaction below are incorrect?PbO (s)+C (s)→2Pb (s)+CO2 (g)a)Lead is getting reduced. b)Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised.c)Carbon is getting oxidised.d)Lead oxide is getting reduced.
Solution
To determine which of the statements about the reaction are incorrect, let's analyze each statement one by one:
a) "Lead is getting reduced." In the given reaction, PbO (lead oxide) is being reduced to Pb (lead). This means that the statement is correct.
b) "Carbon dioxide is getting oxidized." In the given reaction, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not involved in any oxidation or reduction process. It remains unchanged throughout the reaction. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
c) "Carbon is getting oxidized." In the given reaction, carbon (C) is not involved in any oxidation or reduction process. It remains unchanged throughout the reaction. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
d) "Lead oxide is getting reduced." In the given reaction, PbO (lead oxide) is indeed being reduced to Pb (lead). This means that the statement is correct.
Based on the analysis, the incorrect statements are b) "Carbon dioxide is getting oxidized" and c) "Carbon is getting oxidized."
