The conversion of PbO2PbO_{2}toPb(NO3)2Pb(NO_{3})_{2}is.

A

Oxidation

B

Reduction

C

Neither oxidation nor reduction

D

Both oxidation and reduction

Answer

Reduction

Explanation

Solution

PbO2+4→Pb(NO3)2+2\overset{+ 4}{PbO_{2}} \rightarrow \overset{+ 2}{Pb(NO_{3})_{2}}. In this reaction reduction occurs.
