Lead(II) oxalate is an organic compound with the formula PbC2O4. It is naturally found as a heavy white solid. [2]

Contents

Preparation

This compound is commercially available. It may be prepared by the metathesis reaction between lead(II) nitrate and sodium oxalate: [3]

Pb2+(aq) + C2O42 → PbC2O4 (s)

Solubility

Lead(II) oxalate is insoluble in water. Its solubility is increased in presence of excess oxalate anions, due to the formation of the Pb(C2O4)22 complex ion. [4]
