Which pair correctly identifies the brown gas and the colourless gas produced when lead nitrate is heated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Nitrogen dioxide and oxygen

Lead nitrate undergoes thermal decomposition:
\[
2\mathrm{Pb(NO_3)_2} \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2\mathrm{PbO} + 4\mathrm{NO_2} + \mathrm{O_2}
\]
\(\mathrm{NO_2}\) is the brown gas, while \(\mathrm{O_2}\) is colourless. Option B incorrectly names nitrogen gas; nitrogen is released in this reaction as \(\mathrm{NO_2}\), not as \(\mathrm{N_2}\).
