How many grams of H2S is needed to produce 18.00g of PbS if the H2S is reacted with an excess (unlimited) supply of Pb(CH3COO)2?

2.56 grams of H₂S is needed to produce 18.00g of PbS if the H2S is reacted with an  excess (unlimited) supply of Pb(CH₃COO)₂

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Pb(CH₃COO)₂ + H₂S → 2 CH₃COOH + PbS

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) they react and produce:

In this case,  to know how many grams of H₂S are needed to produce 18.00 g of PbS, it is first necessary to know the molar mass of the compounds H₂S and PbS and then to know how much it reacts by stoichiometry. Being:

The molar mass of the compounds are:

So, by stoichiometry they react and are produced:

Then the following rule of three can be applied: if 239 grams of PbS are produced by stoichiometry from 34 grams of H₂S, 18 grams of PbS from how much mass of H₂S is produced?

mass of H₂S= 2.56 grams

2.56 grams of H₂S is needed to produce 18.00g of PbS if the H2S is reacted with an  excess (unlimited) supply of Pb(CH₃COO)₂

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.
