| Specification: |
General description of Mercuriphenyl nitrate (CAS NO.55-68-5) is a white crystalline powder, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. So need to avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Burning may produce irritating, corrosive and toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive or toxic and cause pollution. very slightly soluble in water. Used as an antiseptic, germicide, fungicide. Strongly reactive with many other groups. Incompatible with acids and bases. Organometallics are good reducing agents and therefore incompatible with oxidizing agents. Often reactive with water to generate toxic or flammable gases. Generally highly toxic. Often react on contact with tissues to give toxic products. |
