Description
Mercury(II) chloride is an inorganic mercury salt supplied at a minimum purity of 99,5 % in pure grade, with the empirical formula HgCl₂ and CAS number 7487-94-7. Its molar mass is 271,50 g/mol and the density is 5,44 g/cm³, while the boiling point is given as 302 °C. These well-defined physical data support reproducible weighing and preparation of solutions in analytical and synthetic laboratory work. The material is Mercury(II) chloride from manufacturer Carl ROTH is identified under EG nr. 231-299-8 and is commonly applied where a high-purity Hg(II) source is required for precipitation, complex formation, or reference preparations. Clear specification of purity, formula, and key constants helps laboratories document reagents consistently and align purchasing with method requirements. Handle and store according to applicable laboratory safety practice for mercury compounds.

Questions about Mercury(II) chloride, min. 99,5 %, pure, 100 g, plastic
What is this article?
Mercury(II) chloride, min. 99,5 %, pure, 100 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Metals, elements & oxides, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
Metals, elements and oxides are the element itself or its oxide, sold as powder, shot, foil or wire. Purity and particle size are both the specification. A 99 percent powder and a 99.999 percent shot of the same element are different articles. Many are reactive to air or to water.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
