Product Information

• Name: Mercury nitrate dihydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 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.
