Lead(II) oxide, also called lead monoxide, is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula Pb O. It occurs in two polymorphs : litharge having a tetragonal crystal structure , and massicot having an orthorhombic crystal structure .
Less common lead oxides are: Lead sesquioxide, Pb 2 O 3, which is a lead (II,IV) oxide as well (lead(II) metaplumbate(IV) [Pb 2+][PbO 2− 3]), reddish yellow; Pb 12 O 19, monoclinic, dark-brown or black crystals; The so-called black lead oxide, which is a mixture of PbO and fine-powdered Pb metal and used in the production of lead–acid batteries
Consider the equation of roasting lead(II) sulfide (PbS) in oxygen (O 2) to produce lead(II) oxide (PbO) and sulfur dioxide (SO 2): 2 PbS + 3 O 2 → 2 PbO + 2 SO 2. To determine the theoretical yield of lead(II) oxide if 200.0 g of lead(II) sulfide and 200.0 g of oxygen are heated in an open container:
Tarnished lead (left) and shiny lead (right) Compounds of lead exist with lead in two main oxidation states: +2 and +4. The former is more common. Inorganic lead(IV) compounds are typically strong oxidants or exist only in highly acidic solutions. [1] Red α-PbO and yellow β-PbO The mixed valence oxide Pb 3 O 4 Black PbO 2 which is a strong ...
Lead(II) oxide gives a mixed oxide on further oxidation, Pb 3 O 4. It is described as lead(II,IV) oxide, or structurally 2PbO·PbO 2, and is the best-known mixed valence lead compound. Lead dioxide is a strong oxidizing agent, capable of oxidizing hydrochloric acid to chlorine gas. [77]
Lead(IV) oxide, commonly known as lead dioxide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PbO 2. It is an oxide where lead is in an oxidation state of +4. [ 1 ] It is a dark-brown solid which is insoluble in water. [ 2 ]
Lead(II,IV) oxide is lead(II) orthoplumbate(IV) [Pb 2+] 2 [PbO 4− 4]. [3] It has a tetragonal crystal structure at room temperature, which then transforms to an orthorhombic (Pearson symbol oP28, Space group Pbam, No. 55) form at temperature 170 K (−103 °C). This phase transition only changes the symmetry of the crystal and slightly ...
Historically, the term litharge has been combined to refer to other similar substances. For example, litharge of gold is litharge mixed with red lead, giving it a red color; litharge of bismuth is a similar result of the oxidation of bismuth; and litharge of silver is litharge that comes as a by-product of separating silver from lead.
