What is the formula of lead sulphide?

Answer 1

The formula of lead (II) sulphide is PbS whilst the formula of lead (IV) sulphide is PbS2.

The formula is: PbS and the number of Solubility product constants is 3x10^-25 if you're interested;)

Answer 2

The roman numeral, III, indicates that in this case lead would have an oxidation state of 3+. When this is in a compound with the sulfide anion, S2-, the formula would be Pb2S3.

HOWEVER, lead is not really found with a 3+ oxidation state- only 0, 2+, or 4+.

Lead (II) sulfide= PbS

Lead (IV) sulfide= PbS2

Answer 3

The formula for Lead Sulfide (or Lead Sulphide) is either:

PbS for Lead(II) Sulphide, or PbS2 for Lead(IV) Sulphide.

Answer 4

Lead(II) is Pb2+ and sulfide is S2-, so the formula is simply PbS.

Answer 5

PbS for lead(II) sulfide, PbS2 for lead(IV) sulfide

Answer 6

The chemical formula of lead sulfide is PbS. It consists of one lead (Pb) atom and one sulfur (S) atom.

Answer 7

Lead Sulfide is PbS.

Answer 8

It is PbSO4
