Blowpipe
(3) on charcoal. Fuses and detonates yielding Cr^{2}O^{3} and
metallic lead, and forming an incrustation of
PbO on the charcoal.
(4) in forceps. As pyromorphite.
(5) in borax. Dissolves readily and colors the glass yellow
while warm, and green when cold. (See Chromium
reaction.)
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. On platinum foil gives a dark yellow mass, which
becomes paler on cooling. On charcoal yields a
metallic button.
(8) Special reactions. Treated as above with [.K],[...S]^{2} forms a
violet colored mass, which on solidifying
becomes reddish and on cooling pale grey.

Mineral. Molybdate of lead
Formula. [.Pb][...M].
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. As the preceding.
(2) in open tube. --
(3) on charcoal. Fuses and is partly absorbed into the charcoal
leaving a globule of metallic lead, which is
partially oxidized and incrusts the charcoal.
(4) in forceps. As pyromorphite.
(5) in borax. Dissolves readily and gives the molybdena
reaction.
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. Yields metallic lead.
(8) Special reactions. Fused as above with [.K],[...S]^{2} forms a yellow mass,
which becomes white on cooling. If this be
dissolved in water and a piece of zinc
introduced into the solution, the latter becomes
blue.

Mineral. Scheeletine
Formula. [.Pb][...W].
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. Decrepitates more or less.
(2) in open tube. --
(3) on charcoal. Fuses to a bead incrusting the charcoal with
PbO. The bead on cooling is crystalline and has
a dark metallic surface.
(4) in forceps. As pyromorphite.
(5) in borax. Dissolves to a clear colorless glass, which in
the reducing flame becomes yellow, and on
cooling grey and opaque.
(6) in mic. salt. Dissolves to a clear colorless glass, which
in the reducing flame assumes a dusky blue
color. After a time becomes opaque.
(7) with carb. soda. As the preceding.
(8) Special reactions. With carbonate of soda and nitre gives the
manganese reaction.
