Galena (an ore) is partially oxidized by passing air through it at high temperature. After some time, the passage of air is 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 O2 consumed is ____. (Atomic weights in g mol-1: O=16, S=32, Pb=207)

  1. A 6.54
  2. B 6.47
  3. C 5.2
  4. D 5.3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 6.47

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


mol of Pb=mol of O2
= 100032mol mass=moles×molecular mass
Mass of Pb=100032×207 g
=20732 kg=6.47 kg
