<span>PbO Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed. PbO. * Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice. PbCl4 * Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice. Pb2O * Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice. Pb2S * Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>

A drop of vinegar ( a weak acid ) is placed on a sample of each of the materials below. Which will show the most active reaction

professor190 [17]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Marble is also known as calcium carbonate and its chemical formula is $CaCO_{3}$ .

When it combines with vinegar then it results in the formation of calcium acetate which is a water soluble compound along with the release of carbon dioxide which occurs in the form of bubbles and water.

The reaction is as follows.

$CaCO_{3} + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow Ca(CH_{3}COOH)_{2} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}$
