Lead nitrate
Molecular Formula: Pb(NO3)2
Relative Molecular Weight: 331.20
Character :
white crystalline, relative density 4.53(20), easily soluble in water, liquid ammonia, light dissolve in ethyl alcohol, not dissolve in concentrated nitrate acid, solubility 56.5g/100g water (20). Dry lead nitrate decompose at 205-223. Damp lead nitrate decompose at 100, first become Pb(NO3)2 . PbO, go on heating, then become PbO. It is strong oxidant, putting together with organics will lead it burning, noxious.
Usage: Used as medical astringent; tanning material for leather-making; dyeing mordant; photograph promoting agent; flotation for ore; chemical reagents; and also used for making fireworks, match, and other lead salts.
