JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3pb210

Select the correct statement(s) about compounds of lead.

A $PbI X_{4}$ is a stable, common compound of lead(IV).
B $PbO X_{2}$ is amphoteric.
C $PbCl X_{2}$ is much more soluble in hot water than in cold water.
DHeating $Pb (NO X_{3}) X_{2}$ gives $PbO$ , $NO X_{2}$ and $O X_{2}$ .

Answer: B, C, D

2 Pb (NO X_{3}) X_{2} 2 PbO + 4 NO X_{2} + O X_{2}

.

PbO X_{2}

reacts with both strong acids and alkalis, and

PbCl X_{2}

dissolves appreciably only when hot. Because of the oxidising nature of Pb(IV) the iodide does not exist, so the last statement is false.
