Question
The compound $\mathrm{Pb}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ (red lead) contains a mixture of lead(II) and lead(IV) oxidation states. What is the mole ratio of lead(II) to lead(IV) in $\mathrm{Pb}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ ?
Step 1
First, we need to determine the total number of moles of lead in the compound. There are 3 moles of lead in Pb3O4. Show more…

Lead and oxygen gas combine to form lead(IV) oxide, as shown here. If 20 moles of Pb react with oxygen in this way, how many moles of O2 are consumed? How many moles of PbO2 are produced? Pb (s) + O2 (g) → PbO2 (s)
Lead forms two oxides: PbO and PbO2. Predict the ratio of the two masses of oxygen that combine with a fixed mass of lead to form PbO and PbO2. PbO:PbO2 oxygen mass ratio = ?/?
The lead(IV) oxide used in car batteries is prepared by coating an electrode plate with $\mathrm{PbO}$ and then oxidizing it to lead dioxide $\left(P b O_{2}\right)$. Despite its name, $P b O_{2}$ has a nonstoichiometric mole ratio of lead to oxygen of about $1 / 1.98 .$ In fact, the holes in the $\mathrm{PbO}_{2}$ crystal structure due to missing $\mathrm{O}$ atoms are responsible for the oxide's conductivity. (a) What is the mole $\%$ of $\mathrm{O}$ missing from the $\mathrm{PbO}_{2}$ structure? (b) What is the molar mass of the nonstoichiometric compound?
