 | | With lead, ammonium nitrate, copper sulfate, and sodium hydroxide being availible OTC in root killer, fishing sinkers, drain opener,and cold packs (Obviously not in that order), that seems to be the easiest route to lead nitrate, even if it's not the fastest. |
 | | lead(II) nitrate should be formed as well as ammonia(escapes) and carbon dioxide(escapes). |
 | | Dropping pieces of lead into molten ammonium nitrate should work, first lead is oxidized by the nitrate ion to PbO, then the nitrite reacts to nitrogen and water with the ammonium, then the ammonium reacts with PbO to produce lead nitrate, ammonia gas and water vapour. |
