Detailed information about the reaction Pb + 2H2O -> Pb(OH)2 + H2
-
Reaction conditions
- For the reaction to occur, the presence of appropriate temperature and pressure is required. In this case, the reaction usually takes place at high temperatures.
-
Reaction process
- When lead is introduced into a water environment at high temperatures, it reacts with water to form lead hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Lead hydroxide is a white solid, while hydrogen gas will escape from the solution.
-
Phenomena that occur
- When the reaction takes place, you will see gas bubbles (hydrogen gas) beginning to escape from the solution. Simultaneously, lead hydroxide will create a white precipitate in the solution.
