How many moles of pbs are equivalent to 458 g pbs?

1.914 mol

Explanation:

Use the following convert to convert mass to moles.

Moles = .

Given,

Mass of PbS = 458 g

Molar mass of PbS = 239.3 g/mol

Moles of PbS =

                       = = 1.914 mol

1.914 moles of PbS are equivalent to 458 g PbS

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
