Mercuric sulfate is the chemical compound Hg S O4. It is an odorless solid that forms white granules or crystalline powder. In water, it separates into an insoluble sulfate with a yellow color and sulfuric acid.
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.
Mercuric sulfate Uses
Denigés’ reagent
An acidic solution of mercury sulfate is known as Denigés’ reagent. It was commonly used throughout the 20th century as a qualitative analysis reagent. If Denigés’ reagent is added to a solution containing compounds that have tertiary alcohols, a yellow or red precipitate will form.
Production of acetaldehyde
As previously mentioned, Hg S O4 was used as the catalyst for the production of acetaldehyde from acetylene and water.
Oxymercuration-demarcation of alkenes
Mercury Compounds such as mercury sulfate and mercury(II) acetate are commonly used as catalysts in the oxymercuration-demarcation, a type of Electrophilic Addition reaction. The hydration of alkene results in alcohol that follows regioselectivity that is predicted by Markovnikov’s Rule[citation needed].
Hydration of alkynes
The reaction scheme is provided below. The conversion of 2,5-dimethyhexyn-2,5-diol to 2,2,5,5-tetramethylte-trahydrofuran using aqueous mercury sulfate without the addition of acid.
