Most changes between solid and liquid matter are reversible, especially if it was done by freezing you can just expose it to room temperature and the Mercury will thaw and become liquid again. Or if you want to freeze it again, just freeze it by exposing it to the freezing temperature of mercury which is approximately

-38.83 oC.

No. Mercury is and element and thus, from a chemical standpoint, as simple as a substance can get.

Yes. All that is happening is thermal expansion. All chemical identities remain the same.

Is the freezing point of mercury or butter closer to the freezing point of water?

Mercury because butter does not freeze. Butter does not have a freezing point. Butter is a fat that solidifies gradually as it gets colder and does not go through a phase change (freezing) abruptly like mercury or water.Although butter will become as solid as it gets at a temperature closer to that of the freezing point of water than the freezing point of mercury.
