Lead Nitrate 250G is a high-purity inorganic chemical reagent distributed by IBEX SCIENCES. Headquartered in New Anarkali, Lahore, the company supplies this specialized heavy metal compound to university research labs, academic departments, and industrial analytical centers. The 250-gram pack size provides an optimized container size for precise qualitative analysis, preventing long-term physical clumping or environmental exposure of sensitive laboratory reagents.

Because lead compounds pose profound health hazards and severe cumulative toxicity risks, procurement typically requires verified institutional credentials and strict safety declarations. You can contact their Lahore distribution desk directly to confirm active batch availability, check retail pricing, or request a formal material safety data sheet (MSDS). [1, 2]
Chemical Profile & Laboratory Applications
Lead Nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) appears as a heavy, white crystalline powder and holds highly distinct chemical profiles for curriculum-linked experiments: [1, 2]
- The “Golden Rain” Demonstration: It is famously used alongside Potassium Iodide in educational chemistry to perform precipitation reactions. When heated and cooled, the resulting lead iodide (PbI₂) recrystallizes into brilliant, shimmering golden flakes. [1]
- Thermal Decomposition Tests: Widely used to demonstrate the thermal degradation of ionic nitrate salts. Upon heating, it releases a sharp popping sound (decrepitation) and generates dense, brown toxic nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) gas. [1, 2]
- High Water Solubility: Unlike most other lead-based salts (such as lead sulfate or lead chloride), lead nitrate is highly soluble in water, making it a dependable source of reactive lead(II) ions in solution setups. [1, 2]
- Oxidizing & Carcinogenic Hazards: Lead nitrate is a strong oxidizer and is categorized as a probable human carcinogen and reproductive toxin. It must be handled exclusively inside an operational laboratory fume hood while wearing splash-proof goggles, nitrile gloves, and a lab coat. [1, 2]
- Strict Waste Protocols: Because lead is a persistent environmental hazard that is highly toxic to aquatic organisms, used solutions must never be discarded into municipal drains. Collect all residues strictly inside dedicated hazardous chemical waste arrays. [1]
