LITHARGE ...

Description: Lead(II) oxide, or litharge, is a yellow oxide of lead of formula PbO, created by heating lead in air. It can also be formed by heating lead(II) nitrate(V) (Pb(NO3)2). It is used in the manufacture of paints and in glass, as well as in vulcanization. A mixture with glycerine sets to a hard, waterproof cement that has been used to join the flat glass sides and bottoms of aquaria. Litharge is amphoteric, meaning it reacts with acids to form Pb²+ and with bases to form plumbate(II)

Litharge (Lead Oxide - Yellow or Lead Monoxide or PbO) is a canary yellow to reddish yellow powder. The product is a useful ingredient for the storage battery, glass & ceramic industry. It occupies an important place in the manufacture of power cables.
