MERCUROUS CHLORIDE Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Mercury(I) chloride, a colorless solid also known as the mineral calomel, is the compound with the formula Hg2Cl2, with
the connectivity Cl-Hg-Hg-Cl. It reacts with chlorine to form mercuric chloride, which resists further oxidation. Hg2Cl2 is
a linear molecule. Mercurous chloride forms through the reaction of elemental mercury and mercuric chloride.
Hg + HgCl2→Hg2Cl2
Chemical Properties
Mercurous chloride forms tetrahedral white crystals, and, unlike the mercuric salt, is only very slightly soluble in water (about 2mg/L water at 20°C).
Uses
Dark green Bengal lights; calomel paper, mixed with gold in painting on porcelain; for calomel electrodes; as fungicide; in agriculture to control root maggots on cabbage and onions.
Production Methods
Mercurous chloride is produced by exposing mercury metal to limited amounts of chlorine gas, insufficient to form mercuric chloride as the major product; it can also be prepared by precipitation from mercurous nitrate solution.
General Description
Odorless white solid. Sinks in water.
Reactivity Profile
MERCUROUS CHLORIDE is incompatible with acetylene, ammonia, chlorine dioxide, azides, calcium (amalgam formation), sodium carbide, lithium, rubidium, copper .
Hazard
Toxic dose is uncertain.
Health Hazard
Acute poisoning can result from inhaling dust concentrations of 1.2-8.5 mg/m 3 in air; symptoms include pain and tightness in chest, coughing, and difficulty in breathing. Compound is an irritant, cathartic, or purgat ive; rarely, ``calomel sickness,'' a benign reaction with fever and rash, appears after about 1 week; seldom causes systemic poisoning but may be fatal if retained to 30-40 mg/kg. Contact with eyes causes mild irritation.
Carcinogenicity
An acute oral dose in humans of 1 g HgCl2 may cause corrosive damage to the GI tract; there is, however, little quantitative information on dose–effect relationships during low-level exposure to inorganic mercury. A dose of 2 g may be expected to increase mortality greatly among victims of the poison. Death from acute oral exposure is usually caused by cardiovascular collapse and renal failure. Ingestion of inorganic compounds may cause gastrointestinal corrosion and irritation, such as vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and stomach pains.
Environmental Fate
Calomel can generate reactive oxygen species and deplete glutathione levels. Both genotoxic and nongenotoxic mechanisms may contribute to renal carcinogenic effect of mercury.
