<p>there was another one with Pb+
isn’t that also wrong then?</p>
<p>Plus* there is a molecule PbCl3 so Pb 3+ would work…</p>
<p>it’s speed calc. i had completely forgotten galvanic cells and was looking into them with detail but it turned out that i didn’t even need to know the Nernst Equation. and acid base, as long as you know what’s an acid and what’s a base and some basic procedures and info concerning them, then you should be fine. </p>
<p>and no, PbCl3 wouldn’t work, because it’s true that lead only has +2/+4 oxidation states.</p>
<p>i mean PbCl3- sorry haha
anyway then would the ionic compound of Pb+ also wrong?</p>
<p>yeah… thats what i thought too…
you sure PbCl3 cant work?</p>
<p>yeah, lead is only +2/+4 oxidation states, i kept thinking that it was +2/+3/+4, so i had the hardest time trying to throw one out, so PbCl3 would put lead at a +3 because each chlorine has a -1 ox-state.</p>
<p>but i thought i saw a +1 ox state so wouldn’t both be wrong if what you said is true…?</p>
<p>wait, what would have been a +1 oxidation state?</p>
<p>thats what im talkinga about djp!! I saw Pb+1 for the question and i though that was the wrong one…</p>
<p>I didn’t see any +1 oxidation state for lead…i’m 100% sure PbBr3 was the non-viable compound. It simply doesn’t work lol.</p>
<p>nope im like 99.999% sure that there was a pb+1</p>
<p>i’m also sure that there was pb+1. can anyone remember all the choices?</p>
<p>there was one with 1+
another one with 2+ and like I think there were two with 3+…I think…
though im not 100% sure…</p>
<p>Grrr lol. Look up PbBr3! It doesn’t exist…</p>
<p>lol have you been reading our conversation? we’re wondering why Pb+1 isn’t wrong
if only pb2+ and pb4+ is possible</p>
<p>Did the PbBr have a +1 charge perhaps? I believe it may exist like that; however, there is definitely no +1 oxidation for lead.</p>
<p>Guys, after a bit of research, Pb can have +4, -4, +2 oxidation states. And, Br can have any oxidation state from -1 to +5. This means that with Pb’s oxidation state of -4 and Br’s oxidation state of +4, PbBr is possible. But, with such oxidation states, i doubt PbBr3’s possible.</p>
<p>@Somestudent2
yeah i think that PbBr was choice A so i picked that… or was it choice B…? wtv
but u are incorrect in that PbBr exists: it doesn’t.
Lead bromide is PbBr2
if it was PbBr then Br’s ox state would range from -1 to 7 but -1 is 99% of all bromide cases
plus, the chances of Br having -2 is lower, compared to the chances of Pb having +3.</p>
<p>um…so PbBr is wrong? or PbBr3?
I feel like both are debatable… its sure that there weren’t any definite answer…</p>
<p>it’s definitely PbBr3</p>
<p>what about pb+1?</p>
