Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the empirical formula of the lead sulfide product, we need to find the ratio of lead to sulfur in the compound.

From the given information, we know that there are equal moles of lead and sulfur present (0.300 mol each). Therefore, the ratio of lead to sulfur is 1:1.

The empirical formula for lead sulfide is PbS, which shows a 1:1 ratio of lead to sulfur atoms. Therefore, the answer is (A) PbS.
