Because of the toxicity of mercury compounds, mercury(I) chloride is used in antibacterial salves. The mercury(I) ion (Hg2 2+ ) consists of two bound Hg+ ions.

a. What is the chemical formula of mercury(I) chloride? (1 mark)

b. Calculate [Hg2 2+ ] in a saturated solution of mercury(I) chloride (Ksp = 1.5 x 10-18 ).

c. Seawater contains 0.03 kg of NaCl per litre. Using a suitable approximation, find [Hg2 2+ ] if the seawater is saturated with mercury(I) chloride.

d. How many grams of mercury(I) chloride are needed to saturate 4900 km3 of water (the volume of Lake Michigan)? e. How many grams of mercury(I) chloride are needed to saturate 4900 km3 of seawater?
