CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Physical Description	Mercuric sulfate appears as odorless white granules or crystalline powder. Denser than water. It is toxic by inhalation and by ingestion. It is used in medicine, for gold and silver extraction, and to make other mercury compounds.
Color/Form	White granules or crystalline powder
Odor	Odorless
Solubility	Sol in hydrochloric acid, hot dil sulfuric acid, concentrated sodium chloride
Density	6.47 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink
Decomposition	450 °C. This produces very toxic fumes of mercury and sulfur oxides. The solution in water is a medium strong acid. Reacts with hydrogen halides. Attacks metal in the presence of moisture.
Corrosivity	Corrosiveness: Magnesium; Aluminum; Zinc; Iron; Lead; Copper
Other Experimental Properties	Decomp by water into yellow insol, basic sulfate, and free sulfuric acid.
Chemical Classes	Metals -> Mercury Compounds, Inorganic
