Galena (an ore) is partially oxidized by passing air through it at high temperature. After some time, the passage of air is stopped, but the heating is continued in a closed furnance such that the contents undergo self-reduction, the weight (in kg) of Pb produced per kg of `O_(2)` consumend is _______ (Atomic weights in g `mol^(=1):O=16,S=32,Pb=207`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
(6.47)
`PbS+O_(2) to PbSO_(2)`
`(1000)/(32)mol (1000)/(32) xx207 gm`
mol of Pb= mol of`O_(2)`
`=(10000)/(32)` mol
`:.` Mass of Pb `=(1000)/(32)xx207g`
`=(207)/(32)kg =6.47 `kg
