  2. Golden rain demonstration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rain_demonstration

    Golden rain demonstration is made by combining two colorless solutions, potassium iodide solution and Lead(II) nitrate solution at room temperature to form yellow precipitate. During the chemical reaction, golden particles gently drop from the top of Erlenmeyer flask to the bottom, similar to watching the rain through a window.

  3. Lead(II) nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_nitrate

    Lead(II) nitrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Pb(NO 3) 2.It commonly occurs as a colourless crystal or white powder and, unlike most other lead(II) salts, is soluble in water.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiments_and...

    Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air (1774–86) is a six-volume work published by 18th-century British polymath Joseph Priestley which reports a series of his experiments on "airs" or gases, most notably his discovery of the oxygen gas (which he called "dephlogisticated air").

  5. Decrepitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decrepitation

    D2 decrepitation is characterized by a starting heat range of about 300-700°C, the temperature can also increase rapidly for a few hundred degrees, such as in solid inclusions. D3 decrepitation is continuously heated until the rate reaches its maximum out at about 350-450°C, D3 decrepitation can be observed in carbonates and is defined by the ...

  6. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    Ammonium nitrate on strong heating yields dinitrogen oxide ("laughing gas") and water. Ammonium nitrite on heating yields nitrogen gas and water. Barium azide-"Ba(N 3)"on heating yields barium metal and nitrogen gas. Sodium azide on heating at 300 °C (573 K; 572 °F) violently decomposes to nitrogen and metallic sodium.

    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. Metallic lead is attacked (oxidized) only superficially by air, forming a thin layer of lead oxide that protects it from further oxidation.

    Minium/red lead – trilead tetroxide, Pb 3 O 4; formed by roasting litharge in air. Naples yellow/cassel yellow – oxychloride of lead, formed by heating litharge with sal ammoniac. Mercurius praecipitatus – red mercuric oxide. Mosaic gold – stannic sulfide, formed by heating a mixture of tin filings, sulfur, and sal-ammoniac.
