Nitrogen dioxide can be prepared by strongly heating anhydrous lead nitrate, Pb(NO₃)₂(s). The thermal decomposition occurs according to the equation shown. 2Pb(NO₃)₂(s) → 2PbO(s) + 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g) The nitrogen dioxide, NO₂, can be separated from the oxygen by cooling the gas mixture produced until the NO₂ condenses and the oxygen does not. [Table] melting point/K boiling point/K nitrogen dioxide 262 294 oxygen 54 90 A student plans to investigate the variation of Kₚ with temperature.
