Galena, the most common mineral of lead is primarily lead(II) sulfide (PbS). The first step in the production of pure lead is to

oxidize lead sulfide into lead(II) sulfite (PbSO3). Lead(II) sulfite is then thermally decomposed into lead(II) oxide and sulfur dioxide gas. Balance the following equation. PbSO3(s)⟶PbO(s)+SO2(g)

Answer:

PbSO₃(s)⟶PbO(s)+SO₂(g)

Explanation:

In order for an equation to be balanced, both <em>the charges</em> and <em>the masses </em>need to be the same in both sides of the equation.

In the case of the reaction PbSO₃(s)⟶PbO(s) +SO₂(g), there are no charges in either side, so it is already electronically balanced.

Regarding masses, let's see each element one by one:

Pb ⇒ There's 1 Pb in both sides already.

S ⇒ There's 1 S in both sides already.

O ⇒ There're 3 O in both sides already.

So the equation is balanced as is.

The energy diagram shows the changes in energy during a chemical reaction.
Brums [2.3K]

There is no diagram attached but there are some ways by which you can find it too easily by yourself

Usually energy diagram uses ∆H .

So

  • If ∆H is +ve means reaction is exothermic and energy is released
  • If ∆H is -ve means reaction is endothermic and energy is absorbed

So observe∆H whether it. is decreasing or increasing ,

  • If increasing then energy is being released and vice versa

help plz Which list is in order from smaller to larger sediment particles? A. sand, silt, clay B. clay, silt, sand C. silt, sand
MariettaO [177]

Answer : The correct option is B (clay, slit, sand).

Explanation :

Soil particles are of three types : Sand, Slit and clay. Most of the soils particles are made up of a combination of sand, slit and clay.

Particle size range of the sand = 2.00 -0.05 mm

Particle size range of the slit = 0.05 -0.002 mm

Particle size range of the sand = less than 0.002 mm

Sand is the largest soil particle, clay is the smallest soil particle and slit particle is present in between the sand & clay particle.

Therefore, the order from smaller to larger sediment particles is

Clay > Slit > Sand

Different molecular compounds and elements
Flauer [41]

A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since only one element, not two different elements, is involved. Examples are the diatomic molecule hydrogen (H2) and the polyatomic molecule sulfur (S8).
