I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :) To obtain pure lead, lead (II) sulfide is burned in an atmosphere of pure oxygen. The products of the reaction are lead and sulfur trioxide (SO3). Write a balanced chemical equation for this process. How many grams of lead will be produced if 2.54 grams of PbS is burned with 1.88 g of O2? Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

Explanation:

They gave us the masses of two reactants and asked us to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ:       239.27   32.00        207.2

            2PbS   +   3O₂   ⟶  2Pb   +   2SO₃

m/g:      2.54        1.88

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

3. Calculate the moles of Pb from each reactant

4. Calculate the mass of Pb

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
