  • Uses Mercury oxide (HgO) exists in two forms, red and yellow mercuric oxides, and is related to mercurous oxide (Hg2O), which is black. All have industrial uses, ranging from antiseptics to pigments. Mercury(II)Oxide is used in the synthesis of a mercury based superconductor. Catalyst Similar to that of the red oxide; in the manufacture of organic mercurials. In animal chemistry for determining Zn or HCN; detecting acetic acid in formic acid, CO in gas mixtures.
