Question #36369
If 0.300 mol of lead combines with 0.300 mol of sulfur, what is the empirical formula of the lead sulfide product?
Expert's answer
Empirical formula: PbxSy
x:y=n(Pb):n(S)
x:y=0.3mol:0.3mol
x:y=1:1
so empirical formula of our product is PbS.
Answer: PbS
x:y=n(Pb):n(S)
x:y=0.3mol:0.3mol
x:y=1:1
so empirical formula of our product is PbS.
Answer: PbS
