What is Pb(OH)3? Important knowledge about Pb(OH)3.

Firstly, we need to establish that there is no Pb(OH)3 compound that exists in reality. You might have mistaken it with Pb(OH)2 or Pb(OH)4.

  1. Pb(OH)2 Definition
    1.1 Names
    1.1.1 Common name: Lead (II) Hydroxide
    1.1.2 English name: Lead(II) Hydroxide
    1.2. Atomic mass: Pb: 207.2; O: 16; H: 1
    1.3. Molar mass: 241.2 g/mol
    1.3.1 Molecular structure: 1 Pb2+ ion combined with 2 OH- ions.
    1.4 Ion structure: Pb2+, OH-

  2. Properties of Pb(OH)2
    2.1 Physical properties of Pb(OH)2
    State: Solid
    Color: White
    Smell: Odorless
    PH: Strong alkali
    2.2 Chemical properties of Pb(OH)2: Pb(OH)2 has strong alkalinity, easily reacts with acid to form salt and water.

  3. Common chemical equations involving Pb(OH)2
    3.1 Reaction with acid: Pb(OH)2 + 2HCl -> PbCl2 + 2H2O

4. Synthesis of Pb(OH)2
4.1 Laboratory synthesis of Pb(OH)2: Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaOH -> Pb(OH)2↓ + 2NaNO3.

Remember once again that Pb(OH)3 does not exist, as the Pb2+ ion cannot form a compound with three hydroxide ions.
