Highly toxic. | [Description]
Mercury(I) sulfate, commonly called mercurous sulfate, Hg2SO4, is a metallic compound that forms a white, pale yellow
or beige powder. It is a metallic salt of sulfuric acid produced by replacing both hydrogen atoms with mercury(I). It is
very toxic; it can be fatal if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed by skin. The crystal structure of mercurous sulfate is made up
of Hg2
21 dumbbells and SO4
22 anions as main building units. The Hg2
21 dumbbell is surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms with
Hg?O distance between 2.23 and 2.93 ? , while the Hg-Hg distance is about 2.50 ? . Mercury(I) sulfate has the mercury
atoms arranged in doublets with a bond distance of 2.50 ? . The metal atom doublets are oriented parallel to the a-axis
in a unit cell. Mercury doublets form part of infinite chain SO4-Hg-Hg-SO4-Hg-Hg-... The Hg-Hg-O bond angle is
165° ± 1° . The chain crosses the unit cell diagonally. The mercury sulfate structure is held together by weak Hg-O interactions. The SO4 does not act as a single anion, but rather coordinated to the mercury metal. | [Purification Methods]
The white-yellow powder is recrystallised from dilute H2SO4., dried in a vacuum under N2, and stored in the dark. Its solubility in H2O is 0.6% at 25o. It is hydrolysed by excessive washing with H2O to form the greenish-yellow basic salt Hg2SO4.Hg2O.H2O. | [Synthesis]
One method to produce mercury(I) sulfate is to react the acidic solution of mercury(I) nitrate with a concentrated sulfuric acid solution.
Hg2 (NO3)2 + H2SO4→Hg2SO4 + 2HNO3
It can also be formed by reacting an excess of mercury with concentrated sulfuric acid.
2Hg + 2H2SO4→Hg2SO4 + 2H2O + SO2 |
