To dry the mercury(II) chloride (HgCl2) that is formed in the reaction between mercury(II) nitrate (Hg(NO3)2) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), you can follow these steps:
Pour the solution containing the mercury(II) chloride into a clean beaker or container.
Carefully place the container on a heat source, such as a hot plate, and gently heat the solution to evaporate the water.
As the solution evaporates, the mercury(II) chloride will begin to crystallize and form solid flakes or powder.
Continue heating until all the liquid has evaporated and you are left with dry mercury(II) chloride.
Once the mercury(II) chloride is completely dry, transfer it to a clean, dry container for storage or further use.
Note: Mercury compounds are toxic, so be sure to handle them with care and dispose of any waste properly according to local regulations.
