Mercury (II) acetate, also known as mercuric acetate is a chemical compound, the mercury (II) salt of acetic acid, with the formula Hg ( O 2 C C H 3) 2. Commonly abbreviated Hg (OAc) 2, this compound is employed as a reagent to generate organomercury compounds from unsaturated organic precursors. It is a white, water-soluble solid, but some ...
Mercurial diuretic. The structure of mersalyl acid. Mercurial diuretics are a form of renal diuretic [1] containing mercury. Although previously widely used, they have largely been superseded by safer diuretics such as thiazides, and are now rarely used.
Organomercury chemistry refers to the study of organometallic compounds that contain mercury. Typically the Hg–C bond is stable toward air and moisture but sensitive to light. Important organomercury compounds are the methylmercury (II) cation, CH 3 Hg +; ethylmercury (II) cation, C 2 H 5 Hg +; dimethylmercury, (CH 3) 2 Hg, diethylmercury and ...
Dimethylmercury is an extremely toxic organomercury compound with the formula ( CH 3) 2 Hg. A volatile, flammable, dense and colorless liquid, dimethylmercury is one of the strongest known neurotoxins. Less than 0.1 mL is capable of inducing severe mercury poisoning resulting in death. [2]
Mercury (element) rhombohedral ( hR1) Mercury is a chemical element; it has symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is also known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum ( / haɪˈdrɑːrdʒərəm / hy-DRAR-jər-əm) from the Greek words hydor (water) and argyros (silver). [8]
Mercury beating heart. The mercury beating heart is an electrochemical redox reaction between the elements mercury, iron and chromium. The reaction causes a blob of mercury in water to oscillate. The observeable reaction demonstrates an effect of a non-homogeneous electrical double layer. [1] [2] It is often used as a classroom demonstration.
