Talk:Lead(II) chloride

Untitled
the article title is Lead(II) Chloride, but I think it should be Lead (II) Chloride. Any wasy to change it without starting a new article with that title?

Is PbCl2 a mineral? --Smokefoot 20:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * look at examples of "redirects" basically you create pages of the names that you dont want to hold the article and put a short address to the "home" article.  So you will want to think up most names for PbCl2 and create these redirect pages.

i really don't know how to polish this article because all the info i could get i used for my original draft -Lkosci3 07:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Expanding the lists into proper paragraphs would be one suggestion I would make. I can sympathize about the lack of pertinent info about this compound, I had a root around in the library a while back and came up with nothing worth adding. Physchim62 (talk) 14:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Point of information - the correct title is lead(II) chloride, not lead (II) chloride. I even lobbied Alfa to switch to the correct IUPAC name (no space before parentheses) in their new catalogue - but one or two companies still use the wrong names in their catalogues, and WebElements.com also does this (I pointed this out last year to Mark Winter).  I suspect it was originally easier for computers to work with a space before the (.  But it's hard for students to learn the right names when we don't use them ourselves!


 * Regarding more information, try looking in the more classical literature, and maybe the 1911 Britannica. You have to be very careful with older stuff, but much of the basic research on PbCl2 was done a long time ago.  I would recommend Mellor's "Comprehensive treatise on inorganic and theoretical chemistry." (QD 31 M52, 16 vols. + supplements,     published from 1922 to 1937. One problem with web info is that people copy & paste a lot from each other - if you want to really add USEFUL "NEW" info you often have to go back to the older sources, that often haven't been included on the web yet.  I even found some fascinating stuff on Tb4O7 in Mellor! I also very much agree with PC, if you write accompanying text to explain the lists of reactions it will be much more like an encyclopedia.

PbCl2 Ksp and solubility The author indicates a solubility of 9,9 gram PbCl2/Litre and a Ksp = 1,7E-5. But this Ksp gives a solubility of only 4,5 g PbCl2/Litre. According to Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl-]^2 = so*(2*so)^2 = 4*so^3, gives so = solubility=(Ksp/4)^(1/3)= ((1,7E-5)/4)^(1/3)=1,62 mol PbCl2/L, equal to 4,5 gram PbCl2/L. It seems to be incorrect, thus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.193.106.214 (talk) 20:27, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

The solubility of PbCl2 in water is low (4.5 g/L at 20 °C) Solubility in water10.8 g/L (20 °C)[1]

 * So you could fix it ... just did. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy. Vsmith (talk) 13:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
