What Do You Understand By Lead Acetate?

Lead acetate is an ionic compound with the formula [Pb(CH3COO)2], in which lead is present in +2 oxidation state. It is a white crystalline solid. It has a slight sweet taste. It is also known as Plumbous acetate, salt of Saturn, sugar of lead, Goulard’s powder or lead diacetate. Its systematic IUPAC name is Lead ethanoate. Lead acetate is also toxic like other lead compounds. But it still has various applications such as a fixative and also as a reagent for synthesis of other compounds. It was also used as a sweetener but soon it was banned due to its toxic nature. It was discovered in the US in 1944.

Lead acetate has Pb+2 cation and CH3COO- anion. It is a water – soluble compound. It is commonly found as trihydrate lead acetate which is particularly known as sugar of lead due to its sweet taste.
