Lead(II) sulfate

Alternatively, it can be made by the interaction of solutions of lead nitrate and sodium sulfate.

Lead sulfate is toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin contact.

It is also corrosive - contact with the eyes can lead to severe irritation or burns.

At high concentration of sulfuric acid (>80%), lead hydrogensulfate, Pb(HSO4)2, forms.

[8] Lead(II) sulfate can be dissolved in concentrated HNO3, HCl, H2SO4 producing acidic salts or complex compounds, and in concentrated alkali giving soluble tetrahydroxidoplumbate(II) [Pb(OH)4]2− complexes.
