Description

Lead chloride is a lead salt that is used as an additive in the manufacture of plastics. It is also used as a catalyst for the conversion of hydrochloric acid to hydrogen chloride and sodium carbonate. Lead chloride has been shown to be genotoxic, which may be due to its ability to bind with DNA and inhibit protein synthesis. This compound has been found to have a high affinity for epidermal growth factor (EGF) when studied using FT-IR spectroscopy. Lead chloride can adsorb onto blood vessels, increasing the rate of thermal expansion due to its higher density than water. Lead chloride is also known to produce light emission when heated because it absorbs heat energy and transfers it into kinetic energy. The transport properties of this compound are dependent on the concentration of ions present in solution, but they are enhanced by a solid catalyst such as lead chloride.
