Lead oxide (Pb3O4)

Description:
Lead oxide, specifically the compound with the formula Pb3O4, is commonly known as red lead or minium. It is an inorganic compound characterized by its bright red to orange color, which makes it useful as a pigment in paints and coatings. Pb3O4 is a mixed oxide of lead, containing both lead(II) and lead(IV) oxidation states. It is insoluble in water but can dissolve in acids, forming lead salts. The compound exhibits a high melting point and is stable under normal conditions, although it can decompose at elevated temperatures. Lead oxide is also known for its ability to absorb ultraviolet light, enhancing its utility in various applications. However, due to the toxicity of lead and its compounds, safety precautions are essential when handling Pb3O4, as it poses health risks through inhalation or ingestion. Environmental regulations often govern its use, necessitating careful management to mitigate potential hazards associated with lead exposure.
