LabChem® Mercuric Nitrate, 0.0171N (0.0086M)

LabChem® MERCURIC NITRATE, 0.0171N (0.0086M) is a standardized aqueous solution of mercuric nitrate, prepared and assayed to an exact concentration of 0.0171N (0.0086M). Mercury(II) nitrate is the titrant behind the mercurimetric method for chloride determination, where mercury(II) reacts preferentially and quantitatively with chloride ion. Its certified normality provides a reliable reference for accurate, reproducible titration results.

It is commonly used as the titrant in the mercurimetric titration method for chloride determination in water and wastewater testing, typically with a diphenylcarbazone-based indicator. A pre-standardized solution removes the need to standardize the titrant in-house before each use. This reagent should be handled, stored, and used according to established laboratory safety procedures and the manufacturer's instructions.
