This problem puts a twist on Hess' Law. First add up the two equations to get an overall equation, with a DH term...then do a mass-energy stoichiometry problem!
4. Lead has been known and used since ancient times. To obtain the metal, the ore PbS (galena), is first heated in air to form PbO,
PbS(s)+32O2(g)PbO(s)+SO2(g),H=-413.7kJ
and the lead (II) oxide is reduced with carbon.
PbO(s)+C( graphite )Pb(s)+CO(g),H=+106.8kJ
To obtain the lead from 1.00kg of pure PbS, how much heat energy is required or evolved (at constant pressure)?
