CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Lead acetate appears as a white to gray crystalline solid. Denser than water. Contact may irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. Used in dyes, waterproofing, insecticides, antifouling paints, hair dyes and many other processes. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | White crystals |
| Odor | Slight acetic odor |
| Boiling Point | At temperatures over 200 °F it begins to lose acetic acid, decomposes completely above 400 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Melting Point | 536 °F 167 °F when heated rapidly (NTP, 1992) |
| Solubility | 10 to 50 mg/mL at 68 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Density | 2.55 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Vapor Pressure | 0.000722 [mmHg] |
| Decomposition | When heated to decomp, it emits toxic fumes of /lead/. |
| pH | 5.5-6.5 (5% aq soln at 25 °C) |
| Other Experimental Properties | Density: 1.69; MP: 22 °C; white, rhombic crystals; insol in alc; sol in water /Lead acetate decahydrate/ |
| Chemical Classes | Metals -> Organic Acids, Metal Salts |
