Mercuric nitrate is Hg(NO3)2
Mercury is not attacked by dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. It reacts with hot nitric acid to form mercuric nitrate, Hg(No 3 )
titrate with mercuric nitrate solution
A chemical reaction happens when mercury is heated and reacts with oxygen. This reaction results in the creation of mercuric oxide, an orange or red compound.

by heating it it decomposes to give mercury , NO2,O2
CAUTION: Do not perform this experiment anywhere except an fume-hood as it produces highly toxic Mercury vaporsOn boiling Mercurous nitrate in the presence of light, it disproportionates into elemental Mercury and Mercuric nitrate.Hg2(NO3)2 ----> Hg + Hg(NO3)2
When mercuric oxide is strongly heated in a hard glass tube, it decomposes, globules of mercury collect in the cooler part of the tube and oxygen gas is evolved. It may be collected over mercury in a pure and dry state.
When heated potassium nitrate decomposes to form :K O^2NO
it should be heated at 500°c
a reddish brown gas is formed. Water droplets are formed on the sides of the tube.
it should be heated at 500°c
