The method of making lead acetate solution
To make lead acetate solution, the first thing to do is to prepare materials. Acetic acid and lead salts are necessary. Lead salts are common such as lead oxide. Pure and high-quality ones should be selected to ensure the quality of the solution.

Take an appropriate amount of container first, clean and corrosion-resistant. Pour the selected lead salt into the container slowly, and accurately control the amount of lead salt according to the required solution concentration. Then slowly inject acetic acid. When injecting, pay attention to the speed to prevent overreaction.

After injecting acetic acid, gently shake the container to urge it to mix thoroughly. This process may have heat release, so the operation should be in a ventilated and suitable temperature place to avoid local overheating.

In order to accelerate the reaction and dissolve more fully, it can be heated moderately. However, the heating temperature should not be too high, generally slightly hot, about 40-50 degrees Celsius. At the same time, continue to stir to allow the lead salt to react evenly with acetic acid.

When the lead salt is completely dissolved, the solution is uniform in color and has no obvious precipitation, the lead acetate solution is initially formed. However, at this time it may contain impurities and needs to be further purified. You can use filter paper or filter to filter out insoluble impurities.

The filtered lead acetate solution should be properly stored in a sealed container, cool, dry and out of the reach of children. Due to the toxicity of lead salts, the use process must be cautious, take good protection, and do not let the solution come into contact with the skin, mouth and nose.
