MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE - Introduction
MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE (chemical formula: Hg(NO3)2) is an inorganic compound with the following properties:
Nature:
1. MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE colorless crystals, with a strong pungent odor.
2. It is soluble in water and a small amount of alcohol, but insoluble in ether.
3. decomposes at high temperature to produce nitrate and metallic mercury.
Use:
1. MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE is widely used in the preparation of other mercury compounds, such as mercury chloride, mercury sulfide, etc.
2. it can also be used as a photosensitive material, mordant and catalyst.
Preparation Method:
MERCURIC NITRATE, the preparation of MONOHYDRATE is often obtained by reacting mercury with dilute nitric acid. The mercury is first mixed with dilute nitric acid and the reaction mixture is then heated to produce a MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE.
Safety Information:
1. MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE highly toxic, can cause acute poisoning by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact.
2. the use of MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE, should wear protective gloves, goggles and masks, to avoid direct contact.
3. in the operation, storage and handling of MERCURIC NITRATE, MONOHYDRATE, should take appropriate safety measures, and follow the relevant safety procedures.
