Lead is extracted by heating lead(II) oxide with carbon:
2PbO+C→2Pb+CO2 2\text{PbO} + \text{C} \rightarrow 2\text{Pb} + \text{CO}_2 2PbO+C→2Pb+CO2Explain why this is an example of a redox reaction.
Calculate the mass of lead that can be made from 252525 tonnes of lead(II) oxide.
2PbO+C→2Pb+CO2 2\text{PbO} + \text{C} \rightarrow 2\text{Pb} + \text{CO}_2 2PbO+C→2Pb+CO2Give your answer to 2 significant figures.
Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr): Pb=207\text{Pb} = 207Pb=207 Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr): PbO=223\text{PbO} = 223PbO=223
