"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.

Mercury 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
This 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.
Mercury (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.
Mercury is an element, and therefore not a solution of anything. It is its own material.
No it is not insolube
Mercury chloride is soluble in water.
No mercury is not a solvent.
Mercury is not soluble in water.
no
silver
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.
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)
The word solvent is not adequate for gases.
The solvent is collected as it is boiled off.

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.
"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.
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
the solvent
it waz ur face just joking i waz solvent solvent can never changes solvent is solvent
A solvent is a liquid for example water is a solvent hope this helps. :)
A solution is a special type of mixture only the solid or whatever dissolves into the solvent or whatever. Io a solution would be things like mercury and gold and honey I think!
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
