The colour of residue left behind on heating lead nitrate when it is still hot is:(1) green (2) yellow(3) black (4) reddish brown
Correct Answer: (2) yellow
Explanation: On heating lead nitrate, it decomposes into simpler substances, they impart different colour to the solution.
$2Pb(NO_3)_2 → 2PbO + 4NO_2 + O_2$
colourless yellow ppt brown fumes
Due to the formation of PbO, it shows yellow colour.
