Lead Oxide (IV)
Lead Oxide (IV) (Product Code: SCI-679/298) is analytical reagent grade lead(IV) oxide, also called lead dioxide (PbO2), used as a strong oxidising agent and to explain the lead–acid battery in college and senior-school chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 100 g with an MSDS, a practical quantity for a toxic heavy-metal compound that is used in small portions. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Lead Dioxide Used For?
Lead dioxide is the active material of the positive plate in a lead–acid accumulator, so it anchors lessons on how a car battery stores and releases energy; during discharge both plates change to lead sulfate in the sulfuric acid electrolyte. In the laboratory it acts as a powerful oxidant. It oxidises concentrated hydrochloric acid to chlorine and, in nitric acid solution, converts manganese(II) ions to purple permanganate, a classic confirmatory test for manganese.
It also illustrates the inert pair effect in group 14: the +2 state of lead is more stable than +4, which is why lead(IV) oxide gives up oxygen on heating and behaves as an oxidiser. Because lead compounds are toxic, weigh it in small amounts, avoid creating dust, wear gloves and eye protection, and collect residues as heavy-metal waste in line with the MSDS.
Supplier
Lead Oxide (IV) is sourced and supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana. Because it is a hazardous heavy-metal reagent, every pack travels with its MSDS so that the receiving laboratory has handling and disposal guidance on file.
Colleges, research groups, dealers and importers in India and international markets can learn about the company on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lead Oxide (IV)?
Lead Oxide (IV) is lead dioxide, PbO2, the oxide of lead in the +4 oxidation state. This listing, SCI-679/298, is analytical reagent grade in a 100 g pack with an MSDS, intended for oxidation chemistry and lead–acid cell teaching.
Is Lead Oxide (IV) hazardous?
Yes. Lead Oxide (IV) is a toxic lead compound and a strong oxidiser, so it must be kept away from combustible materials, handled with gloves and eye protection, and never used by students without supervision. The MSDS supplied with each pack gives full hazard and disposal information.
How is lead dioxide linked to batteries?
Lead Oxide (IV) forms the positive plate of the lead–acid battery. When the cell discharges, lead dioxide and the lead negative plate both react with sulfuric acid to give lead sulfate, and recharging reverses the change, a key example in electrochemistry lessons.
How should Lead Oxide (IV) be stored?
Store Lead Oxide (IV) in its sealed container in a locked chemical cabinet, apart from reducing agents, organic materials and acids. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Lead Oxide (IV) SCI-679/298?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Lead Oxide (IV) SCI-679/298 to colleges, schools, testing laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, with each 100 g pack accompanied by its MSDS.
