electron transfer?
OpenStudy (xanthe):
really?I hv no idea yo><
thomaster (thomaster):
i'd expect a black lead(II)sulfide precipitate
OpenStudy (xanthe):
is it NO2 gas?
thomaster (thomaster):
\(H_2S + Pb(NO_3)_2 = PbS(s) + 2HNO_3\)

I cant thank you enough!:D
thomaster (thomaster):
I see i made a mistake i think...
\(H_2S + PbNO_3 = PbS(s) + H_2NO_3\)
thomaster (thomaster):
u sure its not Pb(NO3)2?
OpenStudy (xanthe):
But isnt it HSe or H2Se?
OpenStudy (xanthe):
Yes that one!Sorry mines was wrong><

Its Pb(NO3)2 my bad
thomaster (thomaster):
no selenium has 6 electrons and it needs 8 to compelte its outer shell so it needs to share 2 electrons. Hydrogen has only 1 electron to share so 2 hydrogen atoms share 1 electron with selenium|dw:1368548969868:dw|
