Assertion: \[\ce{HNO3}\] makes iron passive.

Reason: \[\ce{HNO3}\] forms a protective layer of ferric nitrate on the surface of iron.

On heating lead (II) nitrate gives a brown gas “A”. The gas “A” on cooling changes to colourless solid “B”. Solid “B” on heating with NO changes to a blue solid ‘C’. Identify ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ and also write reactions involved and draw the structures of ‘B’ and ‘C’.
