On heating, lead (ll) nitrate gives a brown gas (A). The gas (A) on cooling changes to a colourless solid/liquid (B). (B) on heating with NO changes to ablue solid (C). The oxidation number of nitrogen in solid (C) is:
Options
- A+ 5
- B+ 2
- C+ 3
- D+ 4

C. + 3
Step-by-step solution
Pb NO 3 2 → Δ PbO + 2 NO 2                                                                                 A (brown gas) 2 NO 2 A g → cooling N 2 O 4 B
