<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>
No. Although two such atoms are essentially chemically identical (they will chemically react in the same way), they are not completely identical.

This question requires the knowledge of density.
The density of ethyl alcohol = 789 kg m⁻³
The density of water = 1000 kg m⁻³
Density = Mass / Volume
By applying ethyl alcohol,
789 kg m⁻³ = Mass / 0.9 m³
Mass = 710.1 kg
hence the mass of 0.9 m³ ethyl alcohol is 710.1 kg.
Then by applying water,
1000 kg m⁻³ = 710.1 kg / Volume
Volume = 0.7101 m³
= 0.7 m³
hence the equal water volume is 0.7 m³
