What is MERCURY(I) FLUORIDE?
Description
Mercury(I) fluoride or mercurous fluoride, Hg2F2, consists of small yellow cubic crystals, which turn black when
exposed to light. Mercury(I) fluoride is formed by the reaction of mercury(I) carbonate with hydrofluoric acid.
Hg2CO3 + 2HF→Hg2F2 +CO2 +H2O
Chemical properties
small, yellow cub crystal(s); blackens in light; preparation by reaction of Hg2CO3 and HF [MER06]
The Uses of MERCURY(I) FLUORIDE
Mercury(I) fluoride is used as antiseptic. It is used in the Swarts reaction to convert alkyl halides into alkyl fluorides.
