Mercuric Sulfate, Powder, Technical
Discover the power of Mercuric Sulfate, also known as mercury sulfate, a high-quality chemical compound essential for various industrial applications. This technical-grade powder is an odorless, white granular solid that exhibits remarkable versatility in chemical synthesis.
When dissolved in water, Mercuric Sulfate dissociates into two distinctive components: an insoluble sulfate and the highly corrosive sulfuric acid. This property enhances its applications in the production of acetaldehyde and facilitates processes such as the hydration of alkynes and the oxymercuration and demercuration of alkenes, making it an invaluable asset in chemical laboratories.
