Product Code : SCL-LC-12283
Lead Acetate (SKU SCL-LC-12283), lead(II) acetate, is a toxic lead salt used by trained chemistry staff for qualitative analysis, precipitation reactions, acetate-ion lessons and controlled reagent preparation. Colleges and senior-school laboratories hold it in restricted storage for salt-analysis practicals. It is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, for colleges, science departments, tender contractors and distributors, strictly for laboratory use and never for food, cosmetic or household purposes.
Specifications
Lead acetate is Pb(CH3COO)2 in anhydrous form and may also be supplied as the trihydrate, Pb(CH3COO)2·3H2O. The two forms have different formula weights, so the batch label is checked before weighing. Grade, assay, physical form and pack size are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Lead Acetate
The salt is dissolved by trained staff to make lead acetate solutions for lead-ion and acetate-ion tests, precipitation demonstrations and qualitative inorganic analysis. Keep it away from food, acids and soluble sulphates, wear gloves and eye protection, and collect every residue and contaminated item as lead-containing hazardous waste.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: lead acetate test paper for sulphide gas in systematic salt analysis, prepared by the technician.
- Class 11–12 salt analysis: tests involving lead(II) and acetate ions.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: precipitation and solubility observations for lead salts.
- Laboratory safety training: toxic-metal labelling, segregation and waste control.
Standard Scope of Supply
The order is one pack of Lead Acetate with a batch label showing the hydrate form, the Safety Data Sheet and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Price enquiries can be for a single pack or for several laboratories, and the quotation returned lists packing, delivery time and price for that exact quantity. Hazardous salts are quoted with their paperwork, and other qualitative-analysis reagents or chemistry lab equipment in India can be added to the same enquiry.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and is able to ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Start an order from the contact page or enquiry cart; institutional buyers will find bid guidance on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lead Acetate the same as lead nitrate?
No. Both are lead(II) salts, but they have different anions, formulas and CAS numbers. Confirm the label before substituting one for the other in any method.
Is this lead salt hazardous?
Yes. It is a toxic lead compound. Handle it only with PPE and trained supervision, store it in a restricted area away from food and acids, and dispose of residues as lead-containing hazardous waste.
Who supplies the Lead Acetate?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India. The quotation confirms grade, hydrate form and pack size, and the Safety Data Sheet is sent with the consignment.
Can Lead Acetate be used in school labs?
Only where the institution permits lead-compound handling and trained staff control dispensing, demonstrations, storage and disposal. It should not be issued for unsupervised student work.
Related Lead and Acetate Salts
Salt-analysis courses compare several lead and acetate compounds. The four items below are in the same Lab Chemicals range, so a college can place lead acetate, a second lead salt and two other acetates on one quotation and receive their hazard documents together.
- Lead Nitrate — a different lead(II) salt for precipitation work.
- Lead Chromate — hazardous chromate compound for controlled analytical use.
- Sodium Acetate — acetate salt for buffer and hydrolysis lessons.
- Zinc Acetate — zinc acetate reagent for acetate-ion practicals.
