Mercuric chloride

Description:

Mercuric chloride, also known as mercuric dichloride or calomel, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HgCl₂. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and has a bitter taste. Mercuric chloride is known for its toxic properties, as it is a potent poison and can cause severe health effects upon exposure, including damage to the kidneys and nervous system. The compound is often used in various applications, including as a disinfectant, antiseptic, and in the preparation of other mercury compounds. It has a high melting point and is stable under normal conditions, but it can decompose upon heating, releasing toxic fumes. Due to its toxicity, handling mercuric chloride requires strict safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper disposal methods. In addition to its industrial uses, mercuric chloride has historical significance in medicine, although its use has declined due to safety concerns.
