If you're talking about pencil lead, it's made up of layers and layers of carbon. For example, when you write with pencil, the lines that you make on paper are just layers of carbon that had come off your pencil lead.
When carbon reacts with lead oxide, it produces lead metal and carbon dioxide as byproduct.
Lead can be extracted from lead oxide through a reduction reaction. When lead oxide is heated in the presence of carbon (typically in the form of coke), carbon reduces the lead oxide to produce lead metal and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction allows the lead to be separated from the oxide compound.
Lead being less electropositive will be given out
NO! Lead is a chemical element itself, with no particular relation to carbon, which is another chemical element. The common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite. -------- Lead is the common name for the substance in a 'lead' pencil which does indeed contain an allotrope of carbon known as graphite.
Carbon is in the same group as lead.
lead oxide + carbon-> lead + carbon dioxide
Pencil lead isn't really lead, it is graphite, a form of carbon. Pencil lead doesn't have any lead in it whatsoever.
No. Also, "pencil lead" is not lead; it is almost always graphite (made of carbon)
When carbon reacts with lead oxide, it produces lead metal and carbon dioxide as byproduct.
no.perhaps you are thinking of pencil lead, which isn't lead. its carbon in form of graphite.
Pencil lead contains the element carbon in the form (allotrope) of graphite. The powdered graphite is mixed with a clay binder.Pencil lead has never contained any lead.
Heating carbon with lead oxide will result in the production of lead metal. This is a common reduction reaction where carbon acts as a reducing agent to convert lead oxide into lead metal.
You get Lead and Carbon dioxide. Of course, you have to heat them. no idk help me :0
When lead oxide is heated with carbon, carbon dioxide and lead are formed as the products 2PbO+C -->CO2+2Pb
Carbon is used to extract lead from lead oxide because it acts as a reducing agent in the smelting process. When carbon is heated with lead oxide (PbO), it reacts to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and lead (Pb), effectively reducing the lead oxide to elemental lead. This process is thermodynamically favorable and economically viable, making carbon a practical choice for extracting lead in metallurgical operations.
The reduction of lead oxide with carbon to produce lead is an exothermic reaction. This is because energy is released in the form of heat during the formation of lead from lead oxide and carbon.
Graphite is a form of Carbon, so its carbon in lead graphite. Notice that lead itself is a different element but the term "lead graphite" is generally used for that black substance which makes the "lead pencils". Note that there is no lead in lead pencils, its carbon, in the shape of graphite.
