CAS 73491-34-6

Mercury (II) perchlorate trihydrate

Description:

Mercury (II) perchlorate trihydrate, with the CAS number 73491-34-6, is an inorganic compound characterized by its mercury content and perchlorate anion. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. This compound is soluble in water and exhibits a relatively high thermal stability, although it can decompose upon heating, releasing toxic gases. Mercury (II) perchlorate trihydrate is primarily used in laboratory settings and research applications, particularly in the synthesis of other mercury compounds. Due to the presence of mercury, it poses significant health and environmental risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. The compound is classified as a strong oxidizer, which can react vigorously with reducing agents, and it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance to mitigate exposure risks.
