When lead metal react with dil. $HNO_{3}$ it produce :-

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:

A, B

Solution:

When lead (Pb) reacts with dilute nitric acid, it acts as a reducing agent and gets oxidized to Pb²⁺, forming lead nitrate. Nitrogen in HNO₃ (+5) gets reduced mainly to NO in dilute conditions.

Balanced idea:

$3 P b + 8 H N O_{3} (d i l .) \to 3 P b (N O_{3})_{2} + 2 NO + 4 H_{2} O$

So products are:

Pb(NO₃)₂ (lead nitrate)

NO (nitric oxide)

Answer: (A) NO and (B) Pb(NO₃)₂
