Lead metal is produced by heating solid lead(II) sulfide with solid lead(II) sulfate, resulting in liquid lead and sulfur dioxide gas. Write a balanced equation for the reaction using complete formulas for the compounds with phase labels; indicate that the reactants are heated.
When lead(II) sulfide is heated to high temperatures in a stream of pure oxygen gas, solid lead(II) oxide forms with the release of gaseous sulfur dioxide. Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this reaction.

Balancing Chemical Equations
The principal natural ore of lead is galena, which is primarily lead(II) sulfide. Lead(II) sulfide can be converted to lead(II) oxide and sulfur dioxide gas by heating strongly in air. Write the unbalanced chemical equation for the reaction of lead(II) sulfide with oxygen gas.
