I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The balanced equation representing the decomposition of lead oxide would be that PbO2 = Pb + O2. It decomposes into oxygen gas and lead metal. Hope this answers the question.

The decomposition of lead (IV) oxide is represented by:

A. PbO₂ ⇒ Pb + O₂

What is a decomposition reaction?

A decomposition reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Which of the following is a balanced equation representing the decomposition of lead(IV) oxide?

  • A. PbO₂ ⇒ Pb + O₂

Yes, in this reaction lead (IV) oxide decomposes into lead and molecular oxygen (diatomic.)

  • B. Pb₂O ⇒ 2 Pb + O

No, since molecular oxygen is not represented as a diatomic molecule.

  • C. none of the above

No, since A is correct.
