Give reason. (a) Copper metal is a pure substance (b) A copper metal alloy brass is a mixture

    pb(so₄)₂this element is lead (iv) sulfate. lead is a multivalent ion. but we know that sulfate ions, so₄²⁻, have a charge of -2. in order to have the ratios match up, we need pb⁴⁺ (two times as many pb⁴⁺  than so₄²⁻).the molar mass can be calculated by finding the mass of one mole of this compound. consider the following calculation,  where amu represents the atomic mass unit. the amu for each atom involved in this compound can be found on a periodic table.  molar mass = amu pb + 2(amu s + 4 * amu o)from a periodic table (with masses rounded to the nearest tenth),      amu pb = 207.2 g    amu s =  32.1 g    amu o = 16.0 gtherefore    molar mass =  207.2 + 2(32.1 + 4*16.0) = 399.4 gthe molar mass is therefore 399.4 grams per mol

The most likely ph of a highly corrosive acid would be 1. because one is the most acie on the ph scale. the lower the number, the higher the acidity.
