Lead can be extracted from lead oxide through a reduction reaction. When lead oxide is heated in the presence of carbon (typically in the form of coke), carbon reduces the lead oxide to produce lead metal and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction allows the lead to be separated from the oxide compound.
Lead oxide is composed of lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) atoms. Depending on the oxidation state of lead, lead oxide can exist in different forms such as lead(II) oxide (PbO) and lead(IV) oxide (PbO2). Lead(II) oxide is a yellow solid while lead(IV) oxide is a dark brown solid.
Lead (IV) ion
Lead RED (pigment used to produce a "RED" used in ancient JAPANESE gravures.)
Lead oxide is typically made by heating lead metal in the presence of oxygen. This causes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of lead oxide. Lead oxide can also be produced by dissolving lead metal in nitric acid and then drying the resulting solution.
Lead oxide (PbO) has a valence of +2 for lead and -2 for oxygen.
Lead Monoxide
Lead and oxygen combine to form lead oxide (PbO).
Lead oxide
Lead oxide is composed of lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) atoms. Depending on the oxidation state of lead, lead oxide can exist in different forms such as lead(II) oxide (PbO) and lead(IV) oxide (PbO2). Lead(II) oxide is a yellow solid while lead(IV) oxide is a dark brown solid.
Lead (IV) ion
Aluminium is mainly extracted from Bauxite, which is Aluminium oxide(Al2O3). Iron is mainly extracted from Hematite, which is Iron(III) oxide(Fe2O3). Some other minerals of Iron are Pyrite(FeS2) and Magnetite(Fe3O4).
Lead has Three type of oxides: Lead(II) Oxide = PbO (Generally referred) Lead(IV) Oxide = PbO2 Lead(II,IV) Oxide = Pb3O4
