On heating lead (II) nitrate gives a brown gas "A". The gas "A" on cooling changes to colourless solid "B". Solid "B" on heating with no changes to a blue solid 'C'. Identify 'A', 'B' and 'C' and also write reactions involved and draw the structures of 'B' and 'C'.

Answer»

Solution :The gas A is `NO_2`.
The reactions are explained as under :
`2Pb(NO_3)_2 UNDERSET(673K) overset(Delta)to 2PbO + underset(" A(Brown colour)")(4NO_2) + O_2`
`2NO_2 overset("On cooling ")to underset("(Colourless SOLID)")(N_2O_4)`
`2NO+ underset(B)(N_2O_4) overset(250K)to underset("C (Brown colour solid )")(2N_2O_3)`
STRUCTURE of B `(N_2O_4)` :
