Mercuric Oxide

With CAS No. 21908-53-2, mercuric oxide (HgO) is a high-purity inorganic chemical that is mostly utilised in industrial settings. It is distinguished by its function as a catalyst and in the synthesis of other mercury compounds, among other chemical processes, and by its appearance as a red or yellow solid. Because mercuric oxide is light-sensitive, it should be kept in airtight containers at room temperature to avoid deterioration. HgO is its simple formula. Chemical manufacturing, electronics, and medicines are among the industries that use this molecule. Because of its hazardous effects, proper handling is essential; safety warnings are frequently included in packaging to guarantee safe usage and transportation.
