Answer:
Pb₂O₄
Explanation:
The given species are:
Pb⁴⁺ O²⁻
Now, to solve this problem, we use the combining powers which corresponds to the number of electrons usually lost or gained or shared by atoms during the course of a chemical combination.
Pb⁴⁺ O²⁻
Combining power 4 2
Exchange of valencies 2 4
Now the molecular formula is Pb₂O₄
According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.
The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.
Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases
\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}
rearranging,
y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3
Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.
Conductive when liquid - ions are charged particles, but ionic compounds can only conduct electricity if their ions are free to move. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when they are solid, but they do conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or when they are melted.
