9. The uses of lead are many. Building construction, lead-acid batteries, bullets, weights, as part of solder, and as a radiation shield are just some examples of how lead is usefully employed. In nature, lead occurs as an ore. Most lead is mined from sulfidic ore deposits, which are primarily composed of galena [lead(II) sulfide). Lead metal is extracted from galena by a two-step process. Pb (a) The first step in the extraction of lead from its ore involves heating galena in the presence of gaseous oxygen. The products of this reaction are solid lead(II) oxide and gaseous sulfur dioxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. a
