Lead oxide is formed when a lead cation that has a charge of 2+ combines with an oxygen anion that has a charge of 2-. using the crisscross method, write the formula for lead oxide.

Answer : The formula for lead oxide is,

Explanation :

As we know that the lead is a metal having the atomic number 82. The symbol of lead is, (Pb). The charge on lead is (+2).

The element oxygen is the non-metal having the atomic number 8. The symbol of oxygen is, (O). The charge on oxygen is, (-2).

When the lead combine with the oxygen, it forms lead oxide. It is an ionic compound in which the a metal react with the non-metal and combine with the an ionic bond by the criss-cross method.

Hence, the formula of the lead oxide is,

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
