FAQs
1. What is the difference between AR and ACS grades in Lead Carbonate?
AR (Analytical Reagent) grade meets high purity standards for general lab use, while ACS (American Chemical Society) grade adheres to stricter specifications for critical applications requiring minimal impurities.
2. Can this Lead Carbonate be used for gravimetric analysis?
Yes, its 99% purity and low moisture content make it suitable for gravimetric determinations where precise weight measurements are essential.
3. Is this product compatible with organic solvents like ethanol?
Lead Carbonate is insoluble in ethanol but can be dispersed in acidic solutions or specific organic solvents under controlled conditions.
4. How should I store this reagent to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances like strong acids.
5. Are there any safety precautions for handling Lead Carbonate?
Wear gloves, goggles, and a lab coat to avoid skin contact or inhalation. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood due to its toxic nature.
