The valence of lead is 4.

Hence the name of the compound is called Lead (IV) oxide.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

PbO₂ compound

Required

The valence of Pb

Solution

The oxidation number of element O in the compound = -2, except for OF₂ the oxidation state = + 2 and the peroxides (Na₂O₂, BaO₂) the oxidation state = -1 and superoxide, for example KO₂ = -1/2.

The oxidation state in the uncharged compound = 0,

So The oxidation state of Pb :

Pb + 2.(-2) = 0

Pb - 4 = 0

Pb = +4

Antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, 121 Sb and 123 Sb . 121 Sb has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u , and 123 Sb has an at

valina [46]

Answer:

Percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 %

Percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 42.8 %

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

$Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})$

Given that:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.

For first isotope, 121 Sb :

% = x %

Mass = 120.9038 u

For second isotope, 123 Sb:

% = 100 - x

Mass = 122.9042 u

Given, Average Mass = 121.7601 u

Thus,

$121.7601=\frac{x}{100}\times 120.9038+\frac{100-x}{100}\times 122.9042$

$120.9038x+122.9042\left(100-x\right)=12176.01$

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 57.2 %

<u>Thus, percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 % </u>

<u>percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 100 - 57.2 % = 42.8 %</u>

What is the maximum volume of 0.25 M sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl, laundry bleach) that can be prepared by dilution of 1.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

0.313L

Explanation:

0.25Mx1.00L=0.80Mx V2

so, 0.25x1.00/0.80=0.313L

HC1 solution is mostly water. NaOH solution is mostly water. When 50mL of HC1 is mixed with 50mL of NaOH, what is the final mass

elixir [45]

Since water has a density of about 1g/mL, and we are assuming HCl and NaOH are mostly water, the total mass of the 2 solutions is 100 g.
Due to the conservation of mass, the mass of product must equal the total mass of reactant, therefore the final mass must also be 100 g.
