When crystals of lead nitrate are heated strongly in a dry test tube
(a)crystals immediately melt&
(b) a brown residue is left
(c) white fumes appear in the test tube
(d) a yellow residue is left
Correct Answer: (b) a brown residue is left
Explanation: Pungent smelling, brown fumes are evolved due to NO2 gas and brown coloured residue of lead oxide (PbO) is left.
