How do I write the chemical formula for lead(IV) sulfate?
I am trying to balance a chemical equation. lead(IV) sulfate is a product. Do I write Pb2(SO4)4 or Pb(SO4)2
(obviously, the mumbers will be in subscript)
Thanks so much:)
SO4 has valence of -2, so, to nullify the +ve 4 of Pb, you need SO4 twice… so the right answer is the second one.. which is
Pb(SO4)2.
