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

There are a total of 11 oxygen atoms in the products

Step-by-step 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.
