(i) 2Pb3O4 → 6PbO + O2 ↑
The dark red lead as red powder changes to yellow color. The yellow color residue on further heating sticks to the tube and give a reddish color to glass. A colorless and odorless gas is evolved.
(ii) CuCO3 → CuO + CO2 ↑
The blue-green powder turns black and a colorless gas is evolved which extinguishes a burning flame.
