Mercury(ll) sulfate and mer cury(ll) oxide are also known as mercuric sulfate and ox ide respectively... [Pg.380]

Biacetyl is produced by the dehydrogenation of 2,3-butanediol with a copper catalyst (290,291). Prior to the availabiUty of 2,3-butanediol, biacetyl was prepared by the nitrosation of methyl ethyl ketone and the hydrolysis of the resultant oxime. Other commercial routes include passing vinylacetylene into a solution of mercuric sulfate in sulfuric acid and decomposing the insoluble product with dilute hydrochloric acid (292), by the reaction of acetal with formaldehyde (293), by the acid-cataly2ed condensation of 1-hydroxyacetone with formaldehyde (294), and by fermentation of lactic acid bacterium (295—297). Acetoin [513-86-0] (3-hydroxy-2-butanone) is also coproduced in lactic acid fermentation. [Pg.498]

Ideally a standard cell is constmcted simply and is characterized by a high constancy of emf, a low temperature coefficient of emf, and an emf close to one volt. The Weston cell, which uses a standard cadmium sulfate electrolyte and electrodes of cadmium amalgam and a paste of mercury and mercurous sulfate, essentially meets these conditions. The voltage of the cell is 1.0183 V at 20°C. The a-c Josephson effect, which relates the frequency of a superconducting oscillator to the potential difference between two superconducting components, is used by NIST to maintain the unit of emf. The definition of the volt, however, remains as the Q/A derivation described. [Pg.20]

Mercurous Sulfate. Mercurous s Ai2LX.e[7783-36-0] Hg2S04, is a colodess-to-shghfly-yellowish compound, sensitive to light and slightly soluble ia water (0.05 g/100 g H2O). It is more soluble ia dilute acids. The compound is prepared by precipitation from acidified mercurous nitrate solution and dilute sulfuric acid. The precipitate is washed with dilute sulfuric acid until nitrate-free. Its most important use is as a component of Clark and Weston types of standard cells. [Pg.114]

Mercuric Sulfate. Mercuric s Af2iX.e.[7783-35-9] HgSO, is a colorless compound soluble ia acidic solutions, but decomposed by water to form the yellow water-iasoluble basic sulfate, HgSO 2HgO. Mercuric sulfate is prepared by reaction of a freshly prepared and washed wet filter cake of yellow mercuric oxide with sulfuric acid ia glass or glass-lined vessels. The product is used as a catalyst and with sodium chloride as an extractant of gold and silver from roasted pyrites. [Pg.114]

The mercurous sulfate [7783-36-OJ, Hg2S04, mercury reference electrode, (Pt)H2 H2S04(y ) Hg2S04(Hg), is used to accurately measure the half-ceU potentials of the lead—acid battery. The standard potential of the mercury reference electrode is 0.6125 V (14). The potentials of the lead dioxide, lead sulfate, and mercurous sulfate, mercury electrodes versus a hydrogen electrode have been measured (24,25). These data may be used to calculate accurate half-ceU potentials for the lead dioxide, lead sulfate positive electrode from temperatures of 0 to 55°C and acid concentrations of from 0.1 to Sm.

Fuming sulfuric acid containing 10-60% sulfur trioxide hydrolyzes perfluoro-Af-alkylcyelic amines to perfluoro-Al-alkyl lactams. Mercuric sulfate acts as a Catalyst [JO, 31] (equation 33). The lactams ate highly reactive and can be used to prepare polymenc films and surfactants... [Pg.431]

Fig. 5.6 (Left) Comparison of band energy levels for different II-VI compounds. Note the high-energy levels of ZnSe. Representation is made here for electrodes in contact with 1 M HQO4. The reference is a saturated mercury-mercurous sulfate electrode, denoted as esm (0 V/esm = +0.65 V vs. SHE). (Right) Anodic and cathodic decomposition reactions for ZnSe at their respective potentials (fidp, Fdn) and water redox levels in the electrolytic medium of pH 0. (Adapted from [121])...

Similar designs are used for other REs on the basis of poorly soluble mercury compounds (1) the mercury-mercurous sulfate RE with H2SO4 or K2SO4 solutions saturated with Hg2S04, for which = 0.6151V and (2) the mercury-mercuric oxide RE, for measuring electrode potentials in alkaline solutions, with KOH solution saturated with HgO, for which = 0.098 V and E = 0.920 V. [Pg.195]

One such process was developed by the Outokumpu Company in Finland and used in the company s zinc smelter at Kokkola. The gases are scrubbed with concentrated sulfuric acid, whereby mercury is dissolved as mercuric sulfate. After several recycling operations, the mercury concentration reaches saturation level such that crystals of mercuric sulfate form and can be removed. [Pg.772]

A series of experiments has proved the helpful action of mercuric sulfate. [Pg.109]

The tryptophane is precipitated by adding a solution of 200 g. of mercuric sulfate (Note 5) in a mixture of i860 cc. of water and 140 cc. of concentrated (95 per cent) sulfuric acid. After standing for twenty-four to forty-eight hours, the clear liquid is siphoned out and the yellow precipitate is filtered off and washed (Note 6) with a solution of 100 cc. of concentrated sulfuric acid in 1900 cc. of distilled water containing 20 g. mercuric sulfate, until the filtrate is colorless and Millon s test is atypical (Note 7) about 1500 cc. is necessary. The precipitate is washed with three successive 500-cc. portions of distilled water to remove most of the sulfuric acid. [Pg.114]

Approximately this quantity of mercuric sulfate is necessary to precipitate the tryptophane completely, as judged by the Hopkins-Cole glyoxylic acid test. [Pg.115]

This washing is to remove tyrosine, which is precipitated as a mercury compound somewhat more soluble than the tryptophane precipitate. The mercuric sulfate addition tends to reduce the tryptophane solubility. [Pg.115]

An alternative method was described by Pinzauti et al (40) for determination of several antithyroid drugs potentimetrically with 0.01 M mercuric acetate with use of a mercuric sulfate reference electrode and an amalgamated gold or a silver indicator-electrode. The method is rapid and the results are reproducible the errors are all within + 0.38%. [Pg.366]

In a 5-1. three-necked flask fitted with reflux condenser, mechanical stirrer, thermometer, and nitrogen gas inlet is placed a solution of 80.0 g. (43.5 ml., 0.82 mole) of concentrated sulfuric acid in 3 1. of water. The solution is stirred under nitrogen, and 740.0 g. (2.49 moles) of reagent mercuric sulfate is added to form a suspension of deep-yellow, basic mercuric sulfate. The mixture... [Pg.14]

Four hundred and sixty grams (250 ml., 4.7 moles) of concentrated sulfuric acid is added to the filtrate to precipitate mercuric sulfate. The mixture is boiled under the hood for 1 hour, cooled to 10-25°, and filtered with suction through sintered glass. [Pg.15]

The solid mercuric sulfate is washed with three 100-ml. portions of approximately 40% aqueous sulfuric acid solution (110 ml. of concentrated sulfuric acid mixed with 300 ml. of water). The solid is sucked dry, transferred to an evaporating dish, broken up, and dried in the hood under a heat lamp. [Pg.15]

The yield of recovered mercuric sulfate is 600-700 g. This material plus fresh mercuric sulfate to give 740 g. can be used in a subsequent preparation of cyclopentanecarboxaldehyde without affecting the yield. [Pg.15]
