  • Calculating Moles of Lead(II) Sulfate (PbSO4): A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the number of moles of PbSO₄ in the bottle:

    1. Find the molar mass of PbSO₄:

    * Lead (Pb): 207.2 g/mol

    * Sulfur (S): 32.06 g/mol

    * Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol (and there are four oxygen atoms)

    Molar mass of PbSO₄ = 207.2 + 32.06 + (16.00 x 4) = 303.26 g/mol

    2. Calculate the number of moles:

    * moles = mass / molar mass

    * moles = 158.1 g / 303.26 g/mol

    * moles ≈ 0.521 mol

    Therefore, there are approximately 0.521 moles of PbSO₄ in the bottle.
