Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 1990

10.0 dm3 of air containing H2S as an impurity was passed through a solution of Pb(NO3)2 until all the H2S had reacted. The precipitate of PbS was found to weigh 5.02 g. According to the equation:

Pb(NO3)2 + H2S β†’ PbS + 2HNO3 the percentage by volume of hydrogen sulphide in the air is?



(Pb = 207, S = 32, GMV at s.t.p = 22.4dm3)
A
50.2
B
47.0
C
4.70
D
0.47
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Pb(NO3)2 + H2S β†’ PbS + 2HNO3
34 g H2S β†’ 239 g pbs
5.02g pbs β†’ (34)/(237g) Ο‡ 5.02 g = 0.714 g
34g β†’ 22.4 dm3
=0.714 β†’ (22.4)/34g) Ο‡ 100 = 4.70
