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....
