actually you can still extract lead from lead oxide, but you need to do this experiment with carbon or other reducing agent e.g. hydrogen and with a high temperature Celsius. But the reason that you can extract the Mercury from the mercury oxides exactly is the higher reactivity of the lead. higher the reactivity means more difficult to extract the metals from the ore. so it is possible for lead to extract it from the lead oxide

What elements make lead oxide?

Lead oxide is composed of lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) atoms. Depending on the oxidation state of lead, lead oxide can exist in different forms such as lead(II) oxide (PbO) and lead(IV) oxide (PbO2). Lead(II) oxide is a yellow solid while lead(IV) oxide is a dark brown solid.

What effect does mercury have on gold?

Mercury can form an amalgam with gold, which is a mixture of the two metals. This can make it easier to extract gold from ore, but it can also lead to environmental pollution if not properly managed.


What makes lead oxide?

Lead oxide is typically made by heating lead metal in the presence of oxygen. This causes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of lead oxide. Lead oxide can also be produced by dissolving lead metal in nitric acid and then drying the resulting solution.


Why can lead be extracted from lead oxide?

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.


What is the chemical formula for lead (iv) oxide?

Lead has Three type of oxides: Lead(II) Oxide = PbO (Generally referred) Lead(IV) Oxide = PbO2 Lead(II,IV) Oxide = Pb3O4
