Like the related materials PbSe and PbTe, PbS is a semiconductor. [9] In fact, lead sulfide was one of the earliest materials to be used as a semiconductor. [10] Lead sulfide crystallizes in the sodium chloride motif, unlike many other IV-VI semiconductors. Since PbS is the main ore of lead, much effort has focused on its conversion.
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution (pH ~ 7.4) commonly used in biological research. It is a water-based salt solution containing disodium hydrogen phosphate , sodium chloride and, in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium dihydrogen phosphate .
Lead(II) sulfide, PbS, containing lead in the +2 oxidation state, naturally occurring as the mineral galena Lead(IV) sulfide , PbS 2 , containing lead in the +4 oxidation state Index of chemical compounds with the same name
The main lead-bearing mineral is galena (PbS), which is mostly found with zinc ores. [117] Most other lead minerals are related to galena in some way; boulangerite, Pb 5 Sb 4 S 11, is a mixed sulfide derived from galena; anglesite, PbSO 4, is a product of galena oxidation; and cerussite or white lead ore, PbCO 3, is a decomposition product of ...
PbS 2, like the related tin(IV) sulfide SnS 2, crystallises in the cadmium iodide motif, which indicates that Pb should be assigned the formal oxidation state of 4+. [ 1 ] Lead(IV) sulfide is a p-type semiconductor, and is also a thermoelectric material.
Galena, also called lead glance, is the natural mineral form of lead(II) sulfide (PbS). It is the most important ore of lead and an important source of silver. [5] Galena is one of the most abundant and widely distributed sulfide minerals. It crystallizes in the cubic crystal system often showing octahedral forms.
2 PbO + PbS → 3 Pb + SO 2. Metallic lead is attacked (oxidized) only superficially by air, forming a thin layer of lead oxide that protects it from further oxidation. The metal is not attacked by sulfuric or hydrochloric acids. It dissolves in nitric acid with the evolution of nitric oxide gas to form dissolved Pb(NO 3) 2. 3 Pb + 8 H + + 8 NO −
Color pigments used on the warship Vasa, with white lead second from left, bottom shelf. White lead is the basic lead carbonate 2PbCO 3 ·Pb(OH) 2. [1] It is a complex salt, containing both carbonate and hydroxide ions. White lead occurs naturally as a mineral, in which context it is known as hydrocerussite, [1] a hydrate of cerussite. [2]
