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 furnace such that the contents undergo self-reduction. The weight (in kg) of Pb produced per kg of O 2 consumed is____.
(Atomic weights in g moT 1 : O = 16, S = 32, Pb = 207)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
