Compound A used as a strong oxidizing agent is amphoteric in nature. It is the part of lead storage batteries. Compound A is:

  • A
    PbO
  • B
    Pb3O4
  • Correct answer
    C
    PbO2
  • D
    PbSO4

Solution

PbO2 is amphoteric and strong oxidizing agent and also a component of lead storage batteries.

In lead storage batteries PbO2 is used. In this Oxidation state of Pb is +4 so, it is always reduced and behaves as oxidizing agent
