A bay in Japan containing wastewater from the Chisso Corporation chemical factory names a disease caused by its methylated form.
This element's sulfate is reduced by iron in its namesake "beating heart" reaction. A bay in Japan containing wastewater from the Chisso Corporation chemical factory names a disease caused by its methylated form. Dartmouth chemistry professor Karen Wetterhahn died when a drop of the di-methylated form of this element penetrated her skin. This element's chloride, which is used as a standard reference electrode, is called calomel. The primary ore of this element is called cinnabar, and the alloys of this element are known as amalgams. For 10 points, name this metal element that is liquid at room temperature, and has the chemical symbol Hg.
