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
Although an amphiprotic species must be amphoteric, the converse is not true. For example, a metal oxide such as zinc oxide, ZnO, contains no hydrogen and so cannot donate a proton. Nevertheless, it can act as an acid by reacting with the hydroxide ion, a base: ZnO + 2 OH − + H 2 O → [Zn(OH) 4] 2−. Zinc oxide can also act as a base:
Various oxidized forms of lead are easily reduced to the metal. An example is heating PbO with mild organic reducing agents such as glucose. The mixture of the oxide and the sulfide heated together will also form the metal. [2] 2 PbO + PbS → 3 Pb + SO 2
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 .
Lead dioxide is used as an anode material in electrochemistry. β-PbO 2 is more attractive for this purpose than the α form because it has relatively low resistivity, good corrosion resistance even in low-pH medium, and a high overvoltage for the evolution of oxygen in sulfuric- and nitric-acid-based electrolytes.
4 Pb + SO 2 → R 3 PbO(SO)R R 3 PbCl + 1/2Ag 2 O (aq) → R 3 PbOH + AgCl R 2 PbCl 2 + 2 OH − → R 2 Pb(OH) 2 + 2 Cl −. R 2 Pb(OH) 2 compounds are amphoteric. At pH lower than 8 they form R 2 Pb 2+ ions and with pH higher than 10, R 2 Pb(OH) 3 − ions. Derived from the hydroxides are the plumboxanes: 2 R 3 PbOH + Na → (R 3 Pb) 2 O ...
The cells will use glucose for energy as normal, and any glucose not used for energy will enter the polyol pathway. When blood glucose is normal (about 100 mg/dL or 5.5 mmol/L), this interchange causes no problems, as aldose reductase has a low affinity for glucose at normal concentrations. [citation needed]
Lead(II,IV) oxide is lead(II) orthoplumbate(IV) [Pb 2+] 2 [PbO 4− 4]. [3] It has a tetragonal crystal structure at room temperature, which then transforms to an orthorhombic (Pearson symbol oP28, Space group Pbam, No. 55) form at temperature 170 K (−103 °C). This phase transition only changes the symmetry of the crystal and slightly ...
