Product Code : SCL-LC-12279
Lead Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12279), lead(II) nitrate, is an inorganic lead salt for precipitation reactions, lead-ion tests, nitrate chemistry and qualitative inorganic analysis. It is toxic and oxidising, so it suits trained chemistry laboratories in colleges and senior schools where staff control dispensing and disposal. From its base in Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies quotes this salt to colleges, science departments, tender contractors and distributors alongside wider school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
Lead nitrate’s identity, hazards, storage rules and documents are split row by row in the table. In short, it is Pb(NO3)2, CAS 10099-74-8, a lead compound that is also an oxidising nitrate, stored away from combustibles, reducing agents, food and feedstuffs, with every residue treated as lead-containing hazardous waste.

Applications and Experiments for Lead Nitrate
The salt can show insoluble lead salts forming from solution, support lead-ion tests in salt analysis and illustrate the decomposition of a nitrate. Trained staff should run every demonstration with gloves and eye protection, grip heated tubes with a Test Tube Holder with Handle, and never heat the salt unnecessarily or outside a fume hood.
- NCERT Class 10 science, Chapter 1: thermal decomposition of lead nitrate and its double-displacement reaction with potassium iodide, as teacher demonstrations.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: identifying the lead(II) cation in systematic salt analysis.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: precipitation and solubility rules for lead salts, with precipitates collected on Filter Paper.
- Safety training: toxic-metal segregation, labelling and waste control.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply is one pack of Lead Nitrate with a batch label, 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. The quotation confirms pack size and grade.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be raised for one pack or for the chemical stock of several laboratories, and it sets out the packing, delivery time and price for whatever quantity you name. Related salts and qualitative-analysis reagents can be listed on the same enquiry.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Lead salts need their paperwork lined up, so send the quantity through the contact page, keep a running list in the enquiry cart, or check bid rules on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lead Nitrate used for in a school or college laboratory?
It is a lead(II) salt for supervised precipitation reactions, lead-ion tests in salt analysis and nitrate chemistry. In the Class 10 syllabus it appears in the decomposition and double-displacement reactions shown by the teacher.
Is this lead salt hazardous?
Yes. It is toxic and oxidising. Handle it with gloves, eye protection and ventilation, keep it in restricted storage away from combustibles and food, and dispose of residues as lead-containing hazardous waste.
Who supplies the Lead Nitrate?
Each pack is dispatched from Ambala, India, by Science Lab Supplies with its Safety Data Sheet, batch label and transport documents, and it can sit on one quotation with other salts.
Is lead nitrate the same as lead acetate?
No. Both are lead(II) salts but with different anions, formulas and CAS numbers. Check the label before using either in a practical method or substituting one for the other.
Related Salts and Precipitation Ware
A precipitation practical pairs lead nitrate with an iodide partner, compares it with other lead and nitrate salts, and needs tubes to run the reactions in. The items below cover all three needs and can be priced together with the lead salt on one quotation.
- Potassium Iodide — KI, CAS 7681-11-0, for iodide precipitation reactions.
- Lead Acetate — lead(II) acetate, anhydrous or trihydrate.
- Lead Chromate — PbCrO4, CAS 7758-97-6, a hazardous chromate.
- Copper Nitrate — cupric nitrate, Cu(NO3)2, for copper and nitrate lessons.
- Barium Nitrate — Ba(NO3)2, CAS 10022-31-8, kept in oxidizer-compatible storage.
- Potassium Nitrate — KNO3, the potassium salt of nitric acid.
- Test Tubes — pack of 100 for small-scale reactions and qualitative tests.
