LEAD NITRATE PURE
SKU
RXSOL-60-6604-816
Also known as
LEAD NITRATE PURE
Lead Nitrate is a white or colorless, sand-like solid. It is used in making matches and special explosives, in the dye and photography industries, and in process engraving.
Note
When lead nitrate is heated it decomposes to form lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. From the reaction, we can see that lead nitrate decomposes on heating and forms lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.
