An inorganic substance having the chemical formula Pb(NO3)2 is lead(II) nitrate. In contrast to the majority of other lead(II) salts, it frequently appears as a colorless crystal or white powder and is soluble in water.
Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI → PbI2 + 2KNO3
moles KI=(0.5mol/L)(0.010L)=0.005mol
moles PbI2 = (0.005mol KI)(1 mol PbI2/2mol KI)=2.5×10^(-3)mol
mass PbI2 = (2.5×10^(-3)mol)(461.0g/mol)=1.1525g
Production of lead(II) nitrate from metallic lead or lead oxide in nitric acid was done on a modest scale and was used directly to create additional lead compounds, hence the name plumbum dulce since the Middle Ages. Commercial production of lead(II) nitrate started in Europe and the US in the nineteenth century. Historically, the primary usage was as a raw ingredient in the manufacture of lead paint pigments, but less hazardous paints based on titanium dioxide have replaced those lead paints. Heat stabilization in nylon and polyesters was another industrial application.
