Description

Lead (ll)Sulphate 100g

Lead (II) Sulfate is primarily used as a reagent for chemical reactions, particularly in experiments related to precipitation reactions where the formation of a white, insoluble lead sulfate precipitate can indicate the presence of lead or sulfate ions in a solution; it can also be used to study the properties of lead compounds and battery chemistry due to its role in lead-acid batteries.
Key points about Lead (II) Sulfate in a lab:
Precipitation reactions:
A common use is to identify the presence of lead or sulfate ions in a solution by adding a known sulfate or lead solution to create a visible white precipitate of lead sulfate.
Studying battery chemistry:
Since lead sulfate is formed during the discharge of lead-acid batteries, it is used in experiments to study the battery discharge process and the reactions involved.
Qualitative analysis:
Due to its distinct appearance, lead sulfate can be used as a visual indicator in qualitative analysis experiments.
