If mercury (Hg
2+) is mixed (treated) with three different acids 1) HNO
3 2) Sulfamic Acid (H
2NSO
3H) and 3) HCl
Which one will it favors first? Which of these acids provide "better/secure" ligand with mercury?
I know all of these acids is to prevent mercury from reduction, but unsure the mechanisms behind it.
would deeply appreciate your *delete me*!!
