“Determination of the Empirical Formula of an Unknown Lead Oxide”
By: Dr. C. Steven Joiner In this paper, they walk through and explain the process known as smelting. The experiment demonstrates the historical process known as smelting and could theoretically be used to determine the empirical formula of other metal oxides found in nature. This paper explains how the process of smelting and how metals can be extracted from their ores. This is because a few metals can be found in their elemental forms in nature. It explains the process which involves the use of a chemical reaction to isolate the metal in its elemental form from an ionic compound which includes the metal as a salt. Smelting goes
