LEAD(II) PERCHLORATE SOLUTION Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white crystal(s) [HAW93]

General Description

A white crystalline solid. A dangerous fire risk when in contact with reducing materials. Very toxic by ingestion. Used to make paints and in electric storage batteries.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

LEAD(II) PERCHLORATE SOLUTION is a strong oxidizing agent. Can react with reducing agents to generate heat and products that may be gaseous (causing pressurization in closed containers). The products may themselves be capable of further reactions (such as combustion in the air). Redox reactions can be rapid or even explosive, but often requires initiation (heat, spark, catalyst, addition of a solvent). Consequently explosive mixtures with reducing agents often persist unchanged for long periods. Such systems are typically mixtures of solids, but may involve any combination of physical states. Can react violently with active metals, cyanides, esters, and thiocyanates. May cause the acceleration of the burning of combustible materials. Prolonged exposure to heat of flames may result in an explosion. A flask of anhydrous LEAD(II) PERCHLORATE SOLUTION dissolved in methyl alcohol exploded when LEAD(II) PERCHLORATE SOLUTION was disturbed [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 52:2391. 1930].

Health Hazard

Toxic by ingestion. Inhalation of dust is toxic. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Contact with substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire. May explode from heat or contamination. Some may burn rapidly. Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels). May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard.
