"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.

The solvent in dental amalgam is mercury. Mercury is used to bind together the powdered metals in dental amalgam to form a strong and durable filling material.
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)
A rag dampened with solvent is called a solvent-saturated rag.
The solvent in Sprite is water.

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 used in dental fillings typically consists of approximately 50% to 70% mercury as the solvent, and a mixture of silver, tin, copper, and other metals as solutes. Thus, there are multiple solutes and one solvent in dental 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.

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. :)
