Description
White, translucent crystals that are produced by the reaction of nitric acid on lead. Lead nitrate is a strong oxidizing material. It is used as a mordant in dyeing and printing calico and for staining mother-of-pearl. Lead nitrate is also used as a sensitizer in photography and is used in engraving and lithographic processes.
Synonyms and Related Terms
lead (II) nitrate; lead dinitrate; plumbous nitrate; nitrato de plomo (II) (Esp.);
Risks
- Toxic by inhalation or ingestion.
- Skin contact may cause irritation or ulcers.
