Mercury(I) sulfate, commonly called mercurous sulphate (UK) or mercurous sulfate (US) is the chemical compound Hg2SO4.[2]
Preparation
It can be produced by a reaction of mercury(I) nitrate with a source of sulfate ions:[3]
- Hg2(NO3)2 + SO42- → Hg2SO4 + 2 NO3-
It can also be prepared by reacting an excess of mercury with concentrated sulfuric acid:[3]
- 2 Hg + 2 H2SO4 → Hg2SO4 + 2 H2O + SO2
