Infobox references

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

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