FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Mercuric Oxide Red LR when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container, this product typically maintains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Exposure to moisture or direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent degradation.
2. Is this product compatible with standard glass laboratory equipment?
Yes, Mercuric Oxide Red LR can be safely used with borosilicate glassware commonly found in laboratories. However, prolonged contact with certain metals should be avoided to prevent potential reactions or contamination.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood, as mercuric compounds can be toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
4. How does the red variant differ from yellow mercuric oxide?
The red form is generally more stable and has a finer particle size compared to the yellow variant. While both have similar chemical properties, the red version is often preferred for applications requiring higher purity and consistency.
5. Can this product be used in quantitative analysis procedures?
While primarily used for qualitative analysis, Mercuric Oxide Red LR can be employed in certain quantitative procedures when proper standardization and calibration are performed. Its high purity makes it suitable for gravimetric analysis when required.
