3 PbO + 2 NH3 → N2 + 3 H2O + 3 Pb
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): PbO is an acid, NH3 is a base.
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
3 PbII + 6 e- → 3 Pb0 (reduction)
2 N-III - 6 e- → 2 N0 (oxidation)
PbO is an oxidizing agent, NH3 is a reducing agent.
Reactants:
- PbO
- NH3
