Which of the following reactions could be used to extract the lead from the lead nitrate?
a. Combustion
b. Decomposition
c. Double replacement
d. Single replacement
e. Synthesis

Option b. Decomposition

Followed by a reduction process using charcoal

Explanation:

Lead can be obtained from lead nitrate by thermal decomposition of lead nitrate as shown below:

2Pb(NO3)2 —> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

The PbO obtained is reduced by charcoal(C) to obtain the metallic Pb as shown below:

2PbO + C —> Pb + CO2

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
