Mercurous ChlorideMercury (II) chloride or Mercuric chloride is the chemical compound of mercury and chlorine with the formula HgCl2. It is white crystalline solid and is a laboratory reagent and a molecular compound that is very toxic to humans. The main use of mercuric chloride is as a catalyst.
Mercuric Chloride BP Ph Eur Grade:
HgCl2 --- 271.5 --- CAS: 7487-94-7DEFINITION
Content: 99.5 per cent to 100.5 per cent (dried substance).CHARACTERS
Appearance: White or almost white, crystalline powder or colourless or white or almost white crystals or heavy crystalline masses.
Solubility: Soluble in water and in glycerol, freely soluble in ethanol (96 per cent).IDENTIFICATION
A. It gives the reactions of chlorides.
B. Solution S (see Tests) gives the reactions of mercury.TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 1.0 g in carbon dioxide-free water and dilute to 20 mL with the same solvent.
Appearance of solution: Solution S is not more opalescent than reference suspension II and is colourless.
Acidity or alkalinity: To 10 mL of solution S add 0.1 mL of methyl red solution. The solution is red. Add 0.5 g of sodium chloride. The solution becomes yellow. Not more than 0.5 mL of 0.01 M hydrochloric acid is required to change the colour to red.
Mercurous chloride: Dissolve 1.0 g in 30 mL of ether. The solution shows no opalescence.
Loss on drying: Maximum 1.0 per cent, determined on 2.00 g by drying in vacuo for 24 h.
