Lead forms compounds in the +2 and +4 oxidation states. All lead(II) halides are known (and are known to be ionic). Only PbF4 and PbCl4 are known among the possible lead(IV) halides. Presumably lead(IV) oxidizes bromide and iodide ions, producing the lead(II) halide and the free halogen: PbX4PbX2+X2 Suppose 25.00 g of a lead(IV) halide reacts to form 16.12 g of a lead(II) halide and the free halogen. Identify the halogen.

The drug Antabuse is used to treat alcoholism by making patients violently ill if they drink alcohol. A sample of Antabuse (C8H20N2S4, FW = 296) weighing 543 mg was oxidized to SO3 and absorbed in H2O to produce H2SO4. The H2SO4 produced required 24.60 mL of 0.0351 M NaOH to neutralize it. Calculate the percent Antabuse in the sample.
