Description

Mercuric Sulphate AR 100g

Mercuric Sulphate AR (Analytical Reagent grade) is primarily used as a chemical reagent in various analytical chemistry processes, particularly in redox titrations, due to its ability to act as an oxidizing agent; it can also be used in the preparation of specific reference electrodes and in certain tests to determine sulfate ions in a sample, thanks to its high purity level as an AR grade chemical.
Key applications of Mercuric Sulphate AR:
Redox titrations:
Used as an oxidizing agent in redox titration reactions to determine the concentration of reducing agents in a sample.
Reference electrode preparation:
Can be used in the preparation of certain reference electrodes like the saturated calomel electrode.
Sulfate ion detection:
Employed in specific tests to qualitatively or quantitatively determine the presence of sulfate ions in a solution.
Organic synthesis catalyst:
In some organic synthesis reactions, Mercuric Sulphate can act as a catalyst for processes like the hydration of alkynes or oxymercuration-demercuration of alkenes.
