2 Pb(NO 3) 2 → 2 PbO + 4 NO 2 + O 2 PbCO 3 → PbO + CO 2. PbO is produced on a large scale as an intermediate product in refining raw lead ores into metallic lead. The usual lead ore is galena (lead(II) sulfide). At a temperature of around 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) in air, the sulfide converted to the oxide: [4] 2 PbS + 2 O 2 → 2 PbO + 2 SO 2
Lead(II,IV) oxide is prepared by calcination of lead(II) oxide (PbO; also called litharge) in air at about 450–480 °C: [5] 6 PbO + O 2 → 2 Pb 3 O 4. The resulting material is contaminated with PbO. If a pure compound is desired, PbO can be removed by a potassium hydroxide solution: PbO + KOH + H 2 O → K[Pb(OH) 3]
2 Pb 12 O 17 → 8 Pb 3 O 4 + O 2 2 Pb 3 O 4 → 6 PbO + O 2. The stoichiometry of the end product can be controlled by changing the temperature – for example, in the above reaction, the first step occurs at 290 °C, second at 350 °C, third at 375 °C and fourth at 600 °C. In addition, Pb 2 O 3 can be obtained by decomposing PbO 2 at 580 ...
Lead(II) sulfate is poorly soluble, as can be seen in the following diagram showing addition of SO 2− 4 to a solution containing 0.1 M of Pb 2+. The pH of the solution is 4.5, as above that, Pb 2+ concentration can never reach 0.1 M due to the formation of Pb(OH) 2. Observe that Pb 2+ solubility drops 10,000 fold as SO 2− 4 reaches 0.1 M.
Its chemical formula is usually expressed as Pb(CH 3 COO) 2 or Pb(OAc) 2, where Ac represents the acetyl group. Like many other lead compounds, it causes lead poisoning. Lead acetate is soluble in water and glycerin. With water it forms the trihydrate, Pb(OAc) 2 ·3H 2 O, a colourless or white efflorescent monoclinic crystalline substance.
Lead sesquioxide, Pb 2 O 3, which is a lead (II,IV) oxide as well (lead(II) metaplumbate(IV) [Pb 2+][PbO 2− 3]), reddish yellow Pb 12 O 19 , monoclinic, dark-brown or black crystals The so-called black lead oxide , which is a mixture of PbO and fine-powdered Pb metal and used in the production of lead–acid batteries .
Careful hydrolysis of lead(II) acetate solution yields a crystalline product with a formula 6PbO·2H 2 O or Pb 6 O 4 (OH) 4. [5] This material is a cluster compound, consisting of an octahedron of Pb centers, each face of which is capped by an oxide or a hydroxide. The structure is reminiscent of the Mo 6 S 8 subunit of the Chevrel phases. [6]
Lead (82 Pb) has four observationally stable isotopes: 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb. Lead-204 is entirely a primordial nuclide and is not a radiogenic nuclide.The three isotopes lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208 represent the ends of three decay chains: the uranium series (or radium series), the actinium series, and the thorium series, respectively; a fourth decay chain, the neptunium series ...
