First, write the dissociation equation for PbCO3 which is PbCO3 = Pb^(2+) + CO3^(2-). Then, write the Ksp equation which is Ksp = [Pb^(2+)][CO3^(2-)]. The equation suggests that there is 1:1 molar ratio between the Pb^(2+), CO3^(2-) and the dissolved PbCO3. Thus in equation form, we can represent them as x. The Ksp equation is then: 1.5*10^-15 = x^2. The molar solubility of PbCO3, x, is then equal to 3.87*10^-8 moles per liter.

What volume of o2 is needed to react fully with 720. Ml of nh3

Galina-37 [17]

Ammonia undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water. The volume of the oxygen required to react with 720 ml of ammonia is 900 ml.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is the area occupied by the substance and is the ratio of the mass to the density.

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume

Given,

Volume of ammonia reacted = 0.720 L

The combustion reaction is shown as,

$\rm 4NH_{3} + 5O_{2} \rightarrow 4NO +6H_{2}O$
