6PbO + O2 → 2Pb304

a. How many grams of Pb304 are produced from 8.50 grams of lead (II) oxide?

8.70g of Pb3O4

Explanation:

6PbO + O2 → 2Pb3O4

Molar Mass of PbO = 207 + 16 = 223g/mol

The mass of the PbO from the balanced equation = 6 x 223 = 1338g

Molar Mass of Pb3O4 = (3x207) + (16x4) = 621 + 64 = 685g/mol

Mass of Pb3O4 from the balanced equation = 2 x 685 = 1370g

From the equation,

1338g oh PbO produced 1370g of Pb3O4.

Therefore, 8.50g of PbO will produce = (8.5 x 1370) / 1338 = 8.70g of Pb3O4
