Nitric acid is an oxidising agent and reacts with PbO but it does not react with PbO2 . Explain why?
Nitric acid is an oxidising agent and reacts with PbO but it does not react with PbO2 . Explain why?
This is a Short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Since nitric acid itself is an oxidising agent therefore, it is unlikely that the reaction may occur between PbO2 and nitric acid. However, the acid-base reaction occurs between PbO and nitric acid because PbO is a basic oxide.
PbO and PbO2 react with HCl according to following chemical equations :
2PbO + 4HCl → 2PbCl2 + 2H2O
PbO2 + 4HCl → PbCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O
Why do these compounds differ in their reactivity?

PbO2 + 4HCl → PbCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O
Why do these compounds differ in their reactivity?
This is a Short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The given compound can differ in reactivity as-Lead is present in +4 oxidation state, whereas the stable oxidation state of lead in PbO is +2. PbO2 thus, can act as an oxidant (oxidising agent) and, therefore, can oxidise chloride i
MnO42– undergoes disproportionation reaction in acidic medium but MnO4– does not. Give reason.
MnO42– undergoes disproportionation reaction in acidic medium but MnO4– does not. Give reason.
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
In MnO42–, Mn is in the highest oxidation state that is +7 hence here manganese cannot undergo oxidation that is why disproportionate is not possible whereas in MnO42- manganese is in +6 oxidation state which can be oxidized a
