The product of Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + HNO3 (aq)

Pb(NO3)2 – Lead(II) nitrate sourceaà

Other names: Lead nitrate source Plumbous nitrate source Lead dinitrate source

Appearance: White colourless crystals asource:White or colourless crystals source.

H2O – Water, oxidane source

Other names: Water (H2O) source: Hydrogen hydroxide (HH or HOH) source: Hydrogen oxide source

Appearance: White crystalline solid, almost colorless liquid with a hint of blue, colorless gas source.

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.
