CAUTION: Do not perform this experiment anywhere except an fume-hood as it produces highly toxic Mercury vapors
On boiling Mercurous nitrate in the presence of light, it disproportionates into elemental Mercury and Mercuric nitrate.

What is the chemical formula of mercurous nitrate?
HgNO3: mercurous nitrate is the earlier name for mercury (I) nitrate.
What is mercuric nitrate?
Mercuric nitrate is Hg(NO3)2
What is a soluble nitrate?
Essentially ALL the metallic nitrates are soluble, even mercurous nitrate, perhaps the only mercurous salt that is soluble.
Is sodium nitrate insoluble or soluable?
One useful nugget is that essentially ALL nitrates are soluble - even mercurous nitrate, though essentially all mercurous salts are insoluble.
Mercury plus what gives mercurous nitrate?
Mercury could be reacted with Nitric acid to form Mercurous nitrate. Since hydrogen is less reactive than mercury, therefore mercury would not replace hydrogen from nitric acid but the nitrate ion could oxidize mercury ion and form mercurous chloride .
Is Mercuric nitrate an acid?
Mercury is not attacked by dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. It reacts with hot nitric acid to form mercuric nitrate, Hg(No 3 )
What is the formula of mercurous nitrate?
Hg22+ + NO3- -----> Hg2(NO3)2
Mercurous oxide formula?
Mercurous has a charge of +2, and Oxide has a charge of -2. You cross the chargesand get Hg2O2. The 2s cancel out, leaving you : HgOnuh uh, mercurOUS has a charge of +1, so it's Hg2OmercurIC has a charge of +2, that would be HgO
Formula of mercuric oxide?
The formula for mercurous peroxide is Hg2O2.
What is the balanced equation for silver plus mercurous nitrate?
ag+hg gives aghg
What is the chloride test procedure for waste water?
titrate with mercuric nitrate solution
How does mercury react with other elements?
Mercury forms amalgams with most metals. It can react with non-metals to form to types of compounds: mercurous and mercuric compounds.
