"Mercuric fulminate, HgC2N2O2 ... (is) almost insoluble in cold water and requiring 130 times it weight of boiling water for solution. It may be heated to 180° C. before exploding, and the explosion so brought about is much milder than that produced by percussion."
NOTE: Water boils at 100° C.

∙ 15y agoMercury is Insoluble in:
1.Methylated Spirits
2.Gin
3.Vinegar
4.Oil, but it does separate the molecules
5.Dish washing Liquid, but does the same thing as oil does to Mercury

∙ 12y agoThis is the amount of Mercury that can be dissolved in a liquid at a defineted temperature (and pressure, 'cause in water if the pressure increases, the solubility decreases). In water the solubility at room temperature is 6.73x10^-5 g/L.

∙ 11y agoMercury (I) sulfate [Hg2SO4] also called mercurous sulfate or dimercury sulfate is unstable, highly toxic and solubility information does not exist ...yet.
Mercury (II) sulfate [HgSO4] also called Mercuric sulfate is not and actually decomposes in water. See the related link to a HgSO4-2HgO insoluble solid.

What is the solvent in amalgam?
silver
What is solute and solvent of amalgam?
Amalgam is not a solution, it is an alloy of Mercury and silver. Depending on the amount of mercury present in the alloy, amalgam is solid or liquid at room temperature.
Can gas serve as a solvent?
The word solvent is not adequate for gases.
What is the solute-solvent combinations?
Some solute-solvent combinations are: example (solute state-solvent state) oxygen in nitrogen (gas-gas) carbon dioxide in water (gas-liquid) water vapor in air (liquid-gas) alcohol in water (liquid-liquid) mercury in silver and tin, dental amalgam (liquid-solid) sugar in water (solid-liquid) copper in nickel (MonelTM alloy) (solid-solid)
How can a solvent be separated from a solute by distillation?
The solvent is collected as it is boiled off.
What is the solvent in amalgam?
silver
Is an alloy solvent?
Amalgam is not a solution, it is an alloy of mercury and silver. Depending on the amount of mercury present in the alloy, amalgam is solid or liquid at room temperature.
What is solute and solvent of amalgam?
Amalgam is not a solution, it is an alloy of Mercury and silver. Depending on the amount of mercury present in the alloy, amalgam is solid or liquid at room temperature.
Is red oxide of Mercury soluble in Mercury?
It will probably just turn into black mercury oxide... along with some of your mercury solvent. Heating it will remove the oxygen from the compound, leaving metallic mercury, and any other contaminants behind. Whatever you do, just be careful with this stuff.
Is silver the main component of amalgam?
"Amalgam" means a solution with mercury metal as the solvent and another metal (pretty much anything but iron, which won't amalgamate) as the solute. So...mercury is the main component of amalgam.
What do we call a liquid in which substance dissolve?
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
In a solution the substance in which the solute dissolvent?
the solvent

What can a solvent be?
