PbO4 + 8 HCl → PbCl2 + 3 Cl2 + 4 H2O
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): PbO4 is a base, HCl is an acid.
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
PbVIII + 6 e- → PbII (reduction)
6 Cl-I - 6 e- → 6 Cl0 (oxidation)
PbO4 is an oxidizing agent, HCl is a reducing agent.
Reactants:
- PbO4
- HCl – Chlorane , Hydrogen chloride
- Other names: Hydrochloric acid , M , Uriatic acid
- Appearance: Colorless, transparent liquid, fumes in air if concentrated ; Colorless gas ; Colourless compressed liquefied gas with pungent odour ; Colorless to slightly yellow gas with a pungent, irritating odor. [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.]
