mercurous chloride

Calomel (mercurous chloride) was a popular medicine at the time and one the doctor himself used to excess.

Reaction of tetraethylammonium iodide and mercurous chloride.

Mercury(I) chloride, also known as calomel and mercurous chloride, is a chemical compound.

There is evidence to suggest that some types of skin-whitening products use active ingredients (such as mercurous chloride) and hydroquinone which can be harmful.

"Calomel" was mercurous chloride.

Mercurous chloride forms by the reaction of elemental mercury and mercuric chloride:

Mercurous chloride is employed extensively in electrochemistry, taking advantage of the ease of its oxidation and reduction reactions.

When treated with a cold solution of mercuric chloride, a white precipitate of mercurous chloride forms:

At the age of two William's hands and feet became nearly paralyzed, either from polio, or from a doctor administering a dose of calomel (mercurous chloride).

Mercurous chloride is toxic, although due to its low solubility in water it is generally less dangerous than its mercuric chloride counterpart.

Mercury(I) chloride (also known as calomel or mercurous chloride) has been used as a diuretic, skin disinfectant, and laxative.

Mercury(I) chloride or mercurous chloride (HgCl)

Mercurous chloride decomposes into mercury(II) chloride and elemental mercury upon exposure to UV light.

Also known as calomel (a mineral form, rarely found in nature) or mercurous chloride, this dense white or yellowish-white, odorless solid is the principal example of a mercury(I) compound.

A study was undertaken of DMPS use by workers involved in the production of a calomel skin bleaching lotion and in direct contact with mercurous chloride and that already showed elevated urine mercury levels.

HPO + 2 HgCl + HO HgCl + HPO + 2 HCl Mercurous chloride is reduced further by phosphorous acid to mercury on heating or on standing:

What passes for air on Venus has layers of red mercuric sulfide and mercurous chloride in the lower reaches, and when you get above them to those pretty fluffy clouds tourists see on the way down, you find that some of them are droplets of sulfuric and hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid.
