The composition of turner's yellow pigment is
- A
Pb3(OH)2CO2
- B
Pb3O4
- C
PbCrO4
- D
PbCrO4 + PbO
- E
PbCl2·4PbO
Turner's yellow, also known as patent yellow or lead oxychloride, has the chemical composition of PbCl2·4PbO. This compound is recognized for its strong yellow hue and has been historically used as a pigment in art. Other options provided represent different lead or chromium-based compounds, such as chrome yellow (PbCrO4), red lead (Pb3O4), or hypothetical formulations that do not correspond to Turner's yellow.
This is an incorrect formula representing a compound not associated with Turner's yellow. It's a hypothetical lead compound but not related to the pigment in question.
This is the formula for red lead or minium, a completely different pigment used for its red color, not yellow.
This compound is known as chrome yellow, which is a yellow pigment but not Turner's yellow.
This formula represents a mixture that can enhance the stability of chrome yellow but is not Turner's yellow pigment.
This is the correct formula for Turner's yellow, also known as patent yellow or lead oxychloride, which is used for its vibrant yellow color.
