If, whileboiling, the mercurial compound is added to it, there is an immediateprecipitation of metallic mercury. The same result is obtained withall the compounds of mercury excepting the sulphide. 2.

If the liquid isacidulated with hydrochloric acid and bright copper foil, wire, or gauzeis plunged into it, the copper will soon acquire a silvery-white deposit, Fig. 28. Fig.
