 The empirical  formula  of  lead oxide  is  PbO

  <u><em>Calculation</em></u>

Step  1:  find the  mass  of  oxygen that reacted

  =mass of the product- mass  of lead

= 1.077 g - 1.000 =0.077 g

Step 2:  find  the mole of each reactant

 moles = mass/molar mass

the molar mass of Pb  =207 g/mol  while that of O = 16g/mol from periodic table

moles of lead(Pb)  is therefore = 1.000 g / 207 g/mol =0.0048  moles

  moles of O2  =0.077g/16 g/mol =0.0048 moles

Step  3:  find the mole  ratio

that is divide each mole by smallest number of mole (0.0048)

Pb = 0.0048/0.0048 =1

O=0.0048/0.0048 =1

  • from  mole ratio  above in 1 atom  of Pb of the product we have  1 atom of O  therefore  the empirical formula is PbO

It mean it consisted of 1 g of lead and 0.077 g of O2.
divide these numbers by molar mas.
1/82=0.012 Pb /0.004 = 3
0.077/16= 0.004 O /0.004 =1
Pb3O

Why do the elements in a group all behave similarly
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The elements of the periodic table that belong to the same group (each column) have similar physical and chemical properties. This is because they have the same number of electrons in their last electronic layer.

Example of electronic configuration of elements of GROUP IA:

Hydrogen: 1s ^ 1

Lithium: 1s ^ 2 2s ^ 1

In a solution of a carbonated beverage, what is the dissolved carbon dioxide?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

D is the correct answer because, in aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a substance dissolved in water. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent depends of chemical composition, temperature and pressure
