mercuric oxide

Learn about Mercuric oxide poisoning symptoms, poison control procedures, and treatment options.

A different form of mercury battery uses mercuric oxide and cadmium.

What sort of mercury did he order, mercuric oxide or the chloride?'

He produced it by heating red mercuric oxide with a 12 inch diameter burning glass.

Mercuric oxide button cells once were widely used in hearing aids but now are prohibited under federal law.

He used electrolysis on a mixture of magnesia and mercuric oxide.

"That includes mercuric oxide, spare water, or anything else that will give us oxygen if broken down."

Originally, the catalyst of choice was mercuric oxide.

The two exceptions are mercuric oxide batteries and button cell batteries.

Carbon monoxide was measured using gas chromatography with a mercuric oxide detector.

Mercuric oxide will also effect this transformation.

A little extra mercuric oxide is put into the cell to prevent evolution of hydrogen gas at the end of life.

In mercuric oxide batteries, mercury is used as an electrode rather than an additive to control gas buildup.

Larger mercuric oxide batteries still are produced for military and medical equipment where a stable current and long service life is essential.

Users are prohibited from disposing of spent mercuric oxide batteries except through the collection system established by the manufacturer.

It can be prepared by dehydrogenation of dihydrocinnoline with freshly precipitated mercuric oxide.

Mercuric oxide button cells were formerly common, but are no longer available due to the toxicity and environmental hazard of mercury.

He had produced oxygen gas by heating mercuric oxide and various nitrates by about 1772.

Or by dissolving solid yellow mercuric oxide in concentrated sulfuric acid and water.

Davy went on to discover calcium in 1808 by electrolyzing a mixture of lime and mercuric oxide.

Cupric sulfate was not as efficient as mercuric oxide, and yielded lower protein results.

Many oxides decompose at high enough temperatures, an example being the decomposition of mercuric oxide to give oxygen and mercury.

Silver cells produce 1.6 volts compared to 1.35 for mercuric oxide, so they are used in applications requiring higher voltage, despite the more costly material.

He ultimately obtained oxygen by heating mercuric oxide, silver carbonate, magnesium nitrate, and saltpeter.

Priestley called the new substance "dephlogisticated air" which he made in the famous experiment by focusing the sun's rays on a sample of mercuric oxide.
