The metal is lead, Pb.

One unit of the oxide contains one atom of O (16.00 u).

∴ Mass of oxide = 16.00 u O × (100 u MO/7.17 u O) = 223.15 u MO

Mass of M = mass of MO – mass of O = 223.15 u -16.00 u = 207.2 u

The only element with an atomic mass of 207.2 u is lead (Pb) and the formula of the oxide is PbO.

What is the overall charge of an ion that has 12 protons, 10 electrons, and 14 neutrons?
kakasveta [241]
The charge of the ion would be +2, because there are 2 more protons than there are electrons.  The neutrons don't matter because they have a neutral charge, meaning they are neither positive nor negative.

What are some factors that might cause our percent yield to be greater than 100%? What are some factors that might cause it to b
belka [17]
<span>In the field of science, usually, the product of an experiment is computed ahead to understand if it reached a specific objective. It would reach greater than 100% of percent yield if the factors include faster reaction rates; proper handling of the reactants, no outside contaminants, and the procedure of the experiment is followed smoothly. It would reach lesser than 100% percent yield if the experiment is not followed, external factors such as contamination from the environment (wind, moisture, etc). </span>
