The formula of a compound of lead (Pb) and sulfur (S) was determined using the method in this module. A sample of Pb was weighed into a crucible and covered with finely powdered S.  The crucible was covered and heated to allow the Pb and S to react.  Additional heating burned off all unreacted S.  The crucible was then cooled and weighed.  The following data were collected. (Mole mass of Pb I 207.2 g/mol, S is 32 g/mol)

mass of crucible and cover, g                                                   29.889 g

mass of crucible, cover and Pb, g                                            34.025 g

mass of crucible, cover, and compound formed, g             34.666 g
