Lead metal is produced by heating solid lead (II) sulfide with solid lead (II) sulfate, resulting in liquid lead and sulfur dioxide gas. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction using complete formulas for the compounds with phase labels.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]PbS_{(s)}+PbSO_4_{(s)}\overset{\Delta}{\rightarrow} 2Pb_{(l)}+2SO_2_{(g)}[/tex]

Explanation:

The balanced reaction of heating solid lead (II) sulfide with the solid lead (II) sulfate to produce liquid lead and sulfur dioxide gas is shown below:

[tex]PbS_{(s)}+PbSO_4_{(s)}\overset{\Delta}{\rightarrow} 2Pb_{(l)}+2SO_2_{(g)}[/tex]

In the balance reaction above, all the phases are indicated. This reaction is used for the production of lead metal.
