Alluminium amalgam using Hg(I)Cl
« on: October 08, 2001, 10:08:00 AM »
Hi!

I have alot of mercury(I)chloride lying around. Is this suited for amalgation, to the same extent as mercury(II)chloride? I can remember i read something about mercury(I) being used for amalgation, but i cant remeber the exact ref.

Thanks!

Regards
Peter

I think I have seen people say that it will work. The problem is that it is very insoluble in water. I wonder if adding some hypochlorite to a suspension of the calomel in water would oxidize it to the more soluble mercuric chloride?

It works fine. Any Hg salt which is at least somewhat soluble will work.
