概述 Overview

本品为红氧化汞(HgO)。
Red Mercuric Oxide is the red oxide of mercury (HgO).

性状 Description

本品为橙红色片状或粉状结晶，片状的一面光滑略具光泽，另一面较粗糙。粉末橙色。质硬，性脆；遇光颜色逐渐变深。气微。
Red, orange-red, crystalline powder or scales; scales smooth and slightly lustrous on one side,rough on the other side. Powder, orange. Hard in texture, brittle; colour deepens on exposure to light. Odour, slight.

鉴别 Identification

取本品0.5g，加水10ml，搅匀，缓缓滴加适量的盐酸溶解，溶液显汞盐(通则0301)的鉴别反应。
To 0.5 g of the powder add 10 ml of water, mix well, and add dropwise with stirring a sufficient quantity of hydrochloric acid until the solution shows the identification reaction for mercuric salts <0301>.

检查 Examination

亚汞化合物 Submercurous compounds

取本品0.5g，加稀盐酸25ml，溶解后，溶液允许显微浊。
To 0.5 g of the powder add 25 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid, dissolve, and allow the solution to show a slight turbidity.

氯化物 Chlorides

取本品0.5g，加水适量与硝酸3ml，溶解后，加水稀释使至约40ml，依法检查(通则0801)。如显浑浊，与标准氯化钠溶液3ml制成的对照液比较，不得更浓(0.006%)，
To 0.5 g of the powder add a sufficient quantity of water and 3 ml of nitric acid, dissolve, dilute with water to about 40 ml, and carry out the test for chlorides <0801>. The turbidity produced, when compared with that produced by 3 ml of the standard sodium chloride solution, does not exceed that produced by the latter (0.006%).

含量测定 Assay

取本品约0.2g，精密称定，加稀硝酸25ml溶解后，加水80ml与硫酸铁铵指示液2ml，用硫氰酸铵滴定液（0.1mol/L）滴定。每1ml硫氰酸铵滴定液（0.1mol/L）相当于10.83mg的氧化汞（HgO）。
Weigh accurately about 0.2 g of the powder, dissolve in 25 ml of dilute nitric acid, dilute with water to 80 ml, add 2 ml of ammonium iron(III) sulfate TS as an indicator, and titrate with 0.1 mol/L ammonium thiocyanate VS. Each ml of 0.1 mol/L ammonium thiocyanate VS is equivalent to 10.83 mg of mercuric oxide (HgO).

本品含氧化汞（HgO）不得少于99.0%。
The content of mercuric oxide (HgO) in the drug is not less than 99.0%.
