Mercuric chloride is a soluble salt of mercury. The mercuric ions in solution interferes with vital enzymes in the cell membrane and cytoplasm of microbes. Unfortunately it is also poisonous to mammalian cells including human cells. It has largely been replaced by safer disinfectants.
Hayem's solution. This is an isotonic fluid which consists of the folIowing constituents (in g/100 ml):sodium chloride 0.5, sodium sulphate 2.5 and mercuric chloride 0.25. The sodium sulphate discourages clumping of the erythrocytes and the mercuric chloride is a preservative.

Mercuric or mercury II chloride is HgCl2
Mercuric Chloride or Mercury(II) Chloride
Reddish precipitate of Mercuric iodide and clear solution of Potassium chloride is produced
Because mercuric chloride is a covalent compound and is not an ionic compound. Only ionic compounds give chromyl chloride test
Mercuric amidochloride is obtained by the reaction between ammonia and mercuric chloride.

Usuallu 0.1% mercuric chloride is used for surface sterilization. Mercuric chloride reacs with ligth and will loose its activity if it is exposed to light, especially for a longer duration.. So usually fresh mercuric chloride is used (can be stored for a max of 1 or 2 weeks) and dont forget to store in amber coloured bottles, or cover the bottle
The Reaction of Formic acid and Mercuric Chloride will produce white precipitate. HCOOH + AgCl2 ----> AgCl + CO2 + 2HCl
mercuric chloride
Mercuric bromide or Mercuric Chloride impregnated paper react with Arsin gases, ans form a yellow stain. this is an indication of the presence of Arsenic in the sample being analysed.
