Oxidation of Alkenes

Question

Balance the following equation:
g) $P b S + O_{2} \to P b O + S O_{2}$

Open in App

Solution

The skeletal equation is:
$P b S + O_{2} \to P b O + S O_{2}$

multiply PbO by 2

$P b S + O_{2} \to 2 P b O + S O_{2}$

To equalize Pb, multiply PbS by 2.
$2 P b S + O_{2} \to 2 P b O + S O_{2}$

To equalize S and O, multiply $S O_{2}$ by 2 and multiply $O_{2}$ by 3.
$2 P b S + 3 O_{2} \to 2 P b O + 2 S O_{2}$

The equation is balanced.
