Description
Application
Red mercury(II) oxide is used in laboratories for chemical research in the manufacture of certain mercury compounds and historically in mercury batteries and some medicinal preparations. Because mercury is highly toxic its use is now strictly regulated and requires careful handling and disposal.
Purpose
The purpose of red mercury(II) oxide is to serve as a reagent in chemical reactions a source of mercury in laboratory experiments and a material for preparing other mercury compounds.
General Description
Mercury(II) oxide (red) with the chemical formula HgO is a red or orange-red crystalline inorganic compound composed of mercury and oxygen.
