✦ Synopsis

The kinetics of crystallization and dissolution of lead chloride was studied using the pressure-jump technique with conductivity detection. A single relaxation was observed in an aqueous suspension of lead chloride. From examination of both kinetic and static results, the relaxation observed was attributed to the crystallization of lead chloride and the rate constants of the crystallization and dissolution were determined. The value of the equilibrium constant obtained kinetically was in good agreement with that obtained statically. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
