density of lead ore

  • Lead(II) oxide - Wikipedia

    The usual lead ore is galena (lead(II) sulfide). At a temperature of around 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) the sulfide is converted to the oxide: 2 PbS + 3 O 2 → 2 PbO + 2 SO 2 Structure. As determined by X-ray crystallography, both polymorphs, tetragonal and orthorhombic feature a pyramidal four-coordinate lead center. In the tetragonal form the four ...
