Question

Which of the statements is false regarding the chemical equation: 2Pb(NO3)2 (s) 2PbO (s) + 4NO2 (g) + O2 (g) Question 1 options: There are a total of 11 oxygen atoms in the products. Two of the compounds have a coefficient of 2 There are 3 products produced. There are 18 atoms in total in the reactant. It is a decomposition reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

There are a total of 11 oxygen atoms in the products

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

         2Pb(NO₃)₂  →   2PbO  + 4NO₂  + O₂

The expression there are a total of 11 oxygen atoms in the products is not correct.

 In the product side;

       2PbO = 2 oxygen

       4NO₂  = 8 oxygen

        O₂   = 2 oxygen

This is a total of 12 oxygen on the product side.
