Product Code : SCL-LC-12283
Lead Acetate (SKU SCL-LC-12283), lead(II) acetate, is a toxic lead salt for qualitative analysis, precipitation reactions, acetate-ion lessons and controlled reagent preparation by trained chemistry staff. It suits college and senior-school laboratories that keep it in restricted storage for salt-analysis practicals. Science Lab Supplies arranges supply from Ambala, India, for colleges, science departments, tender contractors and distributors, strictly for laboratory use and never for food, cosmetic or household purposes.
Specifications
Lead acetate’s two formulas, its hazards and its storage rules are tabled one fact per row. In short, it is Pb(CH3COO)2 when anhydrous and Pb(CH3COO)2·3H2O as the trihydrate; the formula weights differ, so the batch label is checked before weighing, and grade, assay and pack size are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Lead Acetate
Trained staff can dissolve the salt to make lead acetate solution for lead-ion and acetate-ion tests, precipitation demonstrations and qualitative inorganic analysis, dispensing it from a labelled Dropping Bottle. Keep it away from food, acids and soluble sulphates, wear gloves and eye protection, and collect every residue as lead-containing hazardous waste.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: lead acetate test paper for sulphide gas in systematic salt analysis, prepared by the technician.
- Class 11–12 salt analysis: tests involving lead(II) and acetate ions, with tubes held in a Laboratory Apparatus Test Tube Stand.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: precipitation and solubility observations for lead salts.
- Safety training: toxic-metal labelling, segregation and waste control.
Standard Scope of Supply
The order is one pack of Lead Acetate with a batch label showing the hydrate form, the Safety Data Sheet, shelf-life detail and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Price enquiries can be for a single pack or for several laboratories, and the quotation returned lists packing, delivery time and price for that exact quantity. Hazardous salts are quoted with their paperwork, and other qualitative-analysis reagents or chemistry lab equipment in India can be added to the same enquiry.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and is able to ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Mention the hydrate form you prefer when writing via the contact page, or add the salt to a qualitative-analysis list in the enquiry cart; colleges tendering can read the lab tender page first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lead Acetate the same as lead nitrate?
No. Both are lead(II) salts, but they have different anions, formulas and CAS numbers. Confirm the label before substituting one for the other in any method or salt-analysis scheme.
Is this lead salt hazardous?
Yes. It is a toxic lead compound. Handle it only with PPE and trained supervision, store it in a restricted area away from food and acids, and dispose of residues as lead-containing hazardous waste.
Who supplies the Lead Acetate?
Quotations and dispatch come from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India. The quotation confirms grade, hydrate form and pack size, and the Safety Data Sheet accompanies each consignment.
Can Lead Acetate be used in school labs?
Only where the institution permits lead-compound handling and trained staff control dispensing, demonstrations, storage and disposal. It should not be issued for unsupervised student work.
