Overview
Mercuric sulfate appears as odorless white granules or crystalline powder. Denser than water. It is toxic by inhalation and by ingestion.
It is used in medicine, for gold and silver extraction, and to make other mercury compounds. CAMEO Chemicals
Applications
Mercury Compounds such as mercury sulfate and mercury(II) acetate are commonly used as catalysts in the oxymercuration-demercuration, a type of Electrophilic Addition reaction.
Dosage and directions
lethal dose of mercuric chloride is 300–1000 mg
Characteristics and notes
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Due to lack of specific data on this substance, the information included in this card was derived by analogy with other mercury(II) compounds.
