1) production of lead from the ore galena,pbs, involoves several steps. In the first step's overall reaction, Pbs is oxidized to PbO and SO2 by (O2)i.e.,
2PbS + 3O2 --> 2PbO + 2SO2
a)Which element is oxidized?
b)Which element is reduced?
(c) Write the balanced equations for the oxidation and reduction half reactions?
Must show all the steps used
Use H+ to balance the charge
Oxidation:
Reduction:
(d) Use these two half reactions to generate a balanced equation for the oxidation of Pbs:
2) Evaluate each of the pairs shown in the table for solubility over the entire composition range. Place an X under the expected solubility for each of the pairs. Indicate which of the Hume-Rothery rules are not met in each case where complete solubility is not supported.

3) a) A face centered cubic lattice contains an interstitial space in the body center. For a host element of 200pm radius, calculate the radius of the octahedral interstitial space.
b) which elements fit in this space?
1a) Sulfur is oxidised
1b) Oxygen
1c) Oxidation: Pb2+ + S2- ------> Pb2+ + S4+ +6e-
Reduction: Pb2+ + O2 + 4e- -------> Pb2+ + 2O2-
1d) Adding 2*oxidation reaction to 3*reduction reaction (excluding the lead ions) balances the no. of electrons on both the sides, hence yields the balanced equation
2Pb2+ + 2S2- +3O2 ------> 2Pb2+ + 2S4+ + 6O2-
Or 4PbS + 3/2 O2 ------> 2PbO + 2SO2
