Solution
The pale yellow solid is lead monoxide, the reddish brown gas is nitrogen dioxide and the colourless gas is oxygen.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{lead nitrate}}{2Pb(NO3)2(s)} ->[heat]\underset{\text{lead monoxide}}{2PbO(s)} +\underset{\text{nitrogen dioxide}}{4NO2(g)} +\underset{\text{oxygen}}{O2(g)}}\]
