Mercury(I) sulfate, commonly called mercurous sulphate (UK) or mercurous sulfate (US) is the chemical compound Hg2SO4.[3] Mercury(I) sulfate is a metallic compound that is a white, pale yellow or beige powder.[4] It is a metallic salt of sulfuric acid formed by replacing both hydrogen atoms with mercury(I). It is highly toxic; it could be fatal if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed by skin.
Structure
In the crystal, mercurous sulfate is made up of Hg22+ center with an Hg-Hg distance of about 2.50 Å. The SO42− anions form both long and short Hg-O bonds ranging from 2.23 to 2.93 Å.[5]
Focusing on the shorter Hg-O bonds, the Hg – Hg – O bond angle is 165°±1°.[6][7]
Preparation
One way to prepare mercury(I) sulfate is to mix the acidic solution of mercury(I) nitrate with 1 to 6 sulfuric acid solution:,[8][9]
- Hg2(NO3)2 + H2SO4 → Hg2SO4 + 2 HNO3
It can also be prepared by reacting an excess of mercury with concentrated sulfuric acid:[8]
- 2 Hg + 2 H2SO4 → Hg2SO4 + 2 H2O + SO2
Use in electrochemical cells
Mercury(I) sulfate is often used in electrochemical cells.[10][11][12] It was first introduced in electrochemical cells by Latimer Clark in 1872,[13] It was then alternatively[clarification needed] used in Weston cells made by George Augustus Hulett in 1911.[13] It has been found to be a good electrode at high temperatures above 100 °C along with silver sulfate.[14]
Mercury(I) sulfate has been found to decompose at high temperatures. The decomposition process is endothermic, and it occurs between 335 °C and 500 °C.
Mercury(I) sulfate has unique properties that make the standard cells possible. It has a rather low solubility (about one gram per liter); diffusion from the cathode system is not excessive; and it is sufficient to give a large potential at a mercury electrode.[15]
