Lead nitrate is produced by reaction of lead(II) oxide with concentrated nitric acid:
PbO + 2 HNO3(concentrated) → Pb(NO3)2↓ + H2O
It may also be obtained evaporation of the solution obtained by reacting metallic lead with dilute nitric acid.
Pb + 4 HNO3 → Pb(NO3)2 + 2 NO2 + 2 H2O
Solutions and crystals of lead(II) nitrate are formed in the processing of lead–bismuth wastes from lead refineries.
Lead nitrate has been used as a heat stabiliser in nylon and polyesters, as a coating for photothermographic paper, and in rodenticides.
