CAS 12612-47-4
:Lead chloride
Description:
Lead chloride, with the CAS number 12612-47-4, is an inorganic compound composed of lead and chlorine, typically represented by the formula PbCl2. It appears as a white crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water, with solubility increasing in hot water. Lead chloride is known for its high density and low melting point, which allows it to be easily melted and cast. It exhibits a tetragonal crystal structure and can form a variety of hydrates. This compound is primarily used in the production of lead-based pigments, in the synthesis of other lead compounds, and in various chemical reactions as a reagent. Due to the toxicity of lead, handling lead chloride requires caution, and it is subject to strict regulations to prevent environmental contamination and health hazards. Additionally, lead chloride can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of lead hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Overall, lead chloride is a significant compound in both industrial applications and chemical research, but its use is limited by safety concerns associated with lead exposure.
