Which of the following reactions is a decomposition redox reaction?
Detailed Solution
Lead nitrate decomposes to PbO, $NO_2$ and $O_2$. The oxidation state of N changes from +5 to +4 and that of O from -2 to 0, so it is a decomposition redox reaction. (1) and (4) are disproportionation reactions; (3) is a combination reaction.
