<P> For this application , the mercuric chloride is supported on carbon in concentrations of about 5 weight percent . This technology has been eclipsed by the thermal cracking of 1 , 2 - dichloroethane . Other significant applications of mercuric chloride include its use as a depolarizer in batteries and as a reagent in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry ( see below ) . It is being used in plant tissue culture for surface sterilisation of explants such as leaf or stem nodes . </P>
