Accepted Answer

It increases from $$-2 to$$ $$0$$

Question 6

Which of the following best describes the type of reaction for $$2PbO(s) \rightarrow 2Pb(s) + O_2$(g)$$?

Accepted Answer

Decomposition and redox

Question 7

If $$2.00$$ moles of $$PbO(s)$$ decompose according to $$2PbO(s) \rightarrow 2Pb(s) + O_2$(g)$$, how many moles of $$O_2(g$$)$$ are produced?

$$1.00$$ mol

Question 8

Which of the following statements is true regarding the electron transfer in the reaction $$2PbO(s) \rightarrow 2Pb(s) + O_2$(g)$$?

Accepted Answer

Oxygen loses electrons and is oxidized

Question 9

In the reaction $$2PbO(s) \rightarrow 2Pb(s) + O_2$(g)$$, which of the following best describes the change in oxidation state for lead?

Accepted Answer

It decreases from $$+2 to$$ $$0$$

Question 10

A student claims that both lead and oxygen are reduced in the reaction $$2PbO(s) \rightarrow 2Pb(s) + O_2$(g). $$Which of the following best evaluates this claim?

Accepted Answer

The claim is incorrect because only lead is reduced; oxygen is oxidized.
