"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 not typically considered a solvent as it does not dissolve a wide range of substances like traditional solvents. Instead, mercury is used more commonly as a metal or as an element in various industrial processes and applications.

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?
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.
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.
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)
What is a rag dampened with solvent called?
A rag dampened with solvent is called a solvent-saturated rag.
What is the solvent of sprite?
The solvent in Sprite is water.
What is the solvent in amalgam?
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.
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?
Yes, red oxide of mercury (mercury(II) oxide) is soluble in elemental mercury. The addition of red oxide of mercury to mercury forms an amalgam, where the red oxide dissolves into the mercury to create a homogenous mixture.
Amalgam is used in filling of cavity how many solutes and solvents are present in it?
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.
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 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)
What do we call a liquid in which substance dissolve?
We call a liquid in which substances dissolve a solvent.
In a solution the substance in which the solute dissolvent?
the solvent
What were solvent in 30 days ago?

What are some solutions?
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!
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)
