Answer:

<h2>Lead(II) oxide</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Lead(II) oxide, also called lead monoxide, is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula PbO. PbO occurs in two polymorphs: litharge having a tetragonal crystal structure, and massicot having an orthorhombic crystal structure. Modern applications for PbO are mostly in lead-based industrial glass and industrial ceramics, including computer components. It is an amphoteric oxide.[3]</h3>

IUPAC name
Lead(II) oxide

Other names
Lead monoxide
Litharge
Massicot
Plumbous oxide
Galena

<h2> Preparation</h2><h3>PbO may be prepared by heating lead metal in air at approximately 600 °C (1,100 °F). At this temperature it is also the end product of oxidation of other oxides of lead in air:[4]</h3><h3>Thermal decomposition of lead(II) nitrate or lead(II) carbonate also results in the formation of PbO:</h3>

<h3>2 Pb(NO</h3><h3>3)</h3><h3>2 → 2 PbO + 4 NO</h3><h3>2 + O</h3><h3>2</h3><h3>PbCO</h3><h3>3 → PbO + CO2</h3><h3>PbO is produced on a large scale as an intermediate product in refining raw lead ores into metallic lead. The usual lead ore is galena (lead(II) sulfide). At a temperature of around 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) the sulfide is converted to the oxide:[5]</h3>

<h3>2 PbS + 3 O</h3><h3>2 → 2 PbO + 2 SO2</h3><h3>Metallic lead is obtained by reducing PbO with carbon monoxide at around 1,200 °C (2,200 °F):[6]</h3>

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?

a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA

d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells

Answer:

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

Explanation:

Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).

This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.

All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.

Paul [167]

Answer:

rate of recrystallization = 4.99 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

Explanation:

For Avrami equation:

$y = 1-e ^{(-kt^n)} \\ \\ e^{(-kt^n)} = 1-y\\ \\ -kt^n = In(1-y) \\ \\ k = \dfrac{-In(1-y)}{t^n}$
