Which of the following reactions is a decomposition redox reaction?

  1. P4(s) + 3OH-(aq) + 3H2O(l) PH3(g) + 3H2PO2-(aq)
  2. 2Pb(NO3)2(s) 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
  3. N2(g) + O2(g) 2NO(g)
  4. Cl2(g) + 2OH-(aq) ClO-(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O(l)

Answer

(2) 2Pb(NO3)2(s) 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)

Solution

As per NCERT, decomposition reactions are the opposite of combination reactions: a compound breaks down into two or more components, at least one of which is in the elemental state (NCERT examples: 2H2O 2H2 + O2, 2NaH 2Na + H2, 2KClO3 2KCl + 3O2).

(1) and (4): one element is both oxidised and reduced disproportionation reactions.

(3): two elements combine combination reaction.

(2): a single compound breaks down; N is reduced (+5 → +4) and O is oxidised (−2 → 0), releasing elemental O2 decomposition redox reaction.

Answer: (2)
