Nitric acid, mercury(1+) salt, monohydrate

Description:

Nitric acid, mercury(1+) salt, monohydrate, commonly referred to as mercurous nitrate, is an inorganic compound with the formula Hg2(NO3)2·H2O. This substance typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. Mercurous nitrate is soluble in water, and its solubility increases with temperature. It is primarily used in analytical chemistry and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. The compound contains mercury in the +1 oxidation state, which is less stable than its +2 counterpart, making it of particular interest in studies of mercury chemistry. Due to the toxicity of mercury and its compounds, mercurous nitrate must be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to minimize exposure. Additionally, it can decompose upon heating, releasing nitrogen oxides, which are hazardous gases. Overall, mercurous nitrate is a significant compound in both industrial applications and research, but its use is regulated due to environmental and health concerns associated with mercury.

Mercury nitrate dihydrate

Controlled Product

CAS: 7782-86-7

Mercury nitrate dihydrate is an inorganic compound that can be used to boost the power of a liquid phase reaction. It is most often used as a liquid-phase reagent for the production of acetic acid and other organic compounds. The addition of mercury nitrate dihydrate to a liquid-phase reaction vessel will cause a change in polarity, which can be determined by measuring the conductivity of the solution. Mercury nitrate dihydrate also has the ability to remove impurities from liquids through ion exchange and causes dehydration reactions with certain substances. For example, when mercury nitrate dihydrate reacts with water, it forms mercury and nitric acid. This product is insoluble in water and may be filtered using devices such as a Buchner funnel or vacuum filter.
