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
