Galena (an ore) is partially oxidised by...

Galena (an ore) is partially oxidised by passing air through it at high temperature. After some time the passage of air stopped, but the heating is continued in a closed furnace such that the contents undergo self-reduction. The weight (in kg) of Pb produced per kg of `O_(2)` consumed is_ ,
`"Atomic weights in g mol"^(-1): O =16,S=32,Pb=207`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ultimate reaction involed in the extraction of lead from galena is:
`PbS+O_(2) to Pb+SO_(2)`
Number of moles of Pb=Number of moles of oxygen `=(1000)/(32)`
Mass of lead extracted `=((1000)/(32))xx"Molar mass of lead"`
`=(1000)/(32)xx207=6470g`
=6.74kg

The ammonia prepared by treating ammonium sulphate with calcium hydroxide is completely used by NiCl_(2), 6H_(2)O to form a stable coodinate compound. Assume that both the reaction are 100% complete. If 1584g of ammonium sulphate and 952g of NiCl_(2). 6H_(2)O are used in the preaparation the combined weight (in grams) of gypsum and the nickel-ammonia coordination compound thus produced is Atomic weight is g mol^(-1): H-1, N=14, O=16, S=32, Cl=35.5, Ca=40, Ni=59)
