Question
In the following reaction between lead sulphide and hydrogen peroxide:
PbS (s) + 4H2O2(aq) → PbSO4(s) + 4H2O(1)
(a) which substance is reduced?
(b) Which substance is oxidised?

Solution
(a) Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is reduced.
(b) Lead sulphide (PbS) is oxidised.
This is because lead sulphide gains oxygen, while hydrogen peroxide loses oxygen.
