LEAD NITRATE, EXTRA PURE

Lead nitrate is an inorganic compound that is a white crystalline powder. It readily dissolves in water to release lead and nitrate ions into solution. These ions are involved in precipitation and coordination reactions with various substances. It is used in several processes where the preparation of insoluble salts or compounds is needed. The compound is handled under controlled conditions because of the presence of lead. It is used in the laboratory as a reactant in chemical reactions, for analytic testing and lead-based derivative preparations.
