Product Code : SCL-LC-12279
Lead Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12279), lead(II) nitrate, is an inorganic lead salt used for precipitation reactions, lead-ion tests, nitrate chemistry and qualitative inorganic analysis. It is toxic and oxidising, so it suits trained chemistry laboratories in colleges and senior schools where staff control dispensing and disposal. Science Lab Supplies provides it from Ambala, India, to colleges, science departments, tender contractors and distributors alongside its wider school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
The reagent is Pb(NO3)2, a lead compound that is also an oxidising nitrate. It must be stored away from combustibles, reducing agents, food and feedstuffs, and all residues treated as lead-containing hazardous waste. Grade, assay, physical form and pack size are fixed on the quotation and batch label.

Applications and Experiments for Lead Nitrate
Teachers use the salt to show insoluble lead salts forming from solution, to test for lead ions in salt analysis and to illustrate nitrate decomposition. Every demonstration should be run by trained staff with gloves and eye protection; heating is done only in a fume hood because brown, toxic nitrogen dioxide is released.
- NCERT Class 10 science, Chapter 1: thermal decomposition of lead nitrate and its double-displacement reaction with potassium iodide, as a teacher demonstration.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: identification of the lead(II) cation in systematic salt analysis.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: precipitation reactions and solubility rules for lead salts.
- Laboratory safety training: toxic-metal segregation, labelling and waste control.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply is one pack of Lead Nitrate with a batch label, 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. The quotation confirms pack size and grade.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be raised for one pack or for the chemical stock of several laboratories, and it sets out the packing, delivery time and price for whatever quantity you name. Related salts and qualitative-analysis reagents can be listed on the same enquiry.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. For quantities or documents, write via the contact page, place items in the enquiry cart, or review the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lead Nitrate used for in a school or college laboratory?
It is a lead(II) salt for supervised precipitation reactions, lead-ion tests in salt analysis and nitrate chemistry. In the Class 10 syllabus it appears in the decomposition and double-displacement reactions shown by the teacher.
Is this lead salt hazardous?
Yes. It is toxic and oxidising. Handle it with gloves, eye protection and ventilation, keep it in restricted storage away from combustibles and food, and dispose of residues as lead-containing hazardous waste.
Who supplies the Lead Nitrate?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this reagent from Ambala, India, with its Safety Data Sheet, batch label and transport documents, quoted together with other chemicals if required.
Is lead nitrate the same as lead acetate?
No. Both are lead(II) salts but with different anions, formulas and CAS numbers. Check the label before using either in a practical method.
Related Salts for Precipitation Work
Precipitation and salt-analysis practicals draw on several salts at once. The four items below come from the same Lab Chemicals range and pair naturally with lead nitrate, either as a reaction partner or as another metal or nitrate salt, and they can go on one quotation.
- Potassium Iodide — iodide salt for precipitation reactions involving iodide ions.
- Lead Acetate — a second lead(II) salt for qualitative analysis.
- Copper Nitrate — copper nitrate salt for solution and qualitative work.
- Barium Nitrate — hazardous inorganic nitrate for controlled analytical use.
