Explanation:
a)
Galena =
Lead(II) oxide =
Sulfur dioxide =
Step 1:
Roasting the galena in oxygen gas to form lead(II) oxide and sulfur dioxide.
Balanced equation of step 1:
..[1]
Step 2:
Heating the metal oxide with more galena forms the molten metal and more sulfur dioxide.
Balanced equation of step 2:
..[2]
