Not in anything that I can think of--certainly not water. Uranium is one of the densest materials on Earth.
Uranium has more that one valiance state. In one form it is quite soluble, in another not so soluble. That is why as oxygen became more plentiful and uranium a higher oxidation level it became soluble and dissolved in African rivers. It precipitated when the river met the ocean. There it created an atomic pile. Uranium is a metal. You probably want the oxide or some other compound. Look up the solubility product constant for Uranium oxide. That will give you the exact figure for whatever valence and compound you want.
Yes, uranium is highly toxic if ingested. It can cause severe harm to the kidneys, liver, and other organs, as well as increase the risk of developing cancer. Immediate medical attention is necessary if someone ingests uranium.
- after a severe intoxication (ingestion of an important mass of soluble uranium compounds); uranium is toxic and radioactive. - after inhalation of uranium dust on long periods; uranium and the released radon are the cause of lung cancers in this case. - after the explosion of a critical mass of enriched uranium - if you are between the victims of a nuclear weapons bombarment, using uranium in the bombs
The radioactivity of natural uranium is not so important. The external irradiation is very low. But the internal irradiation is dangerous: alpha radiations from inhaled uranium, radium and radon (Ra and Rn released by decay from U) can destroy pulmonary alveoli and cause lung cancers. Also the ingestion is dangerous because soluble salts of uranium are toxic.
Uranium is a very reactive element; uranium can form alloys or compounds with the majority of the other elements. Uranium is also soluble in nitric acid.
Uranium is not soluble in water; uranium is easily soluble in acids, for ex. in nitric acid.
What do you mean. Uranium is not soluble in water.
No
For example, metallic uranium is soluble in nitric acid.
Soluble uranium salt in solution
Ingestion of soluble compounds of uranium can severely affect the kidneys.
Uranium is a natural chemical element, radioactive and toxic. Ingestion of soluble salts of uranium can lead to intoxication, depending of course on the amount ingested.

Inhalation of powders and liquid aerosols containing uranium: lung cancers. Ingestion of soluble uranium compounds: intoxication, especially for kidney. Skin or eyes contact with corrosive uranium compounds: severe irritations.
Yes, uranium is highly toxic if ingested. It can cause severe harm to the kidneys, liver, and other organs, as well as increase the risk of developing cancer. Immediate medical attention is necessary if someone ingests uranium.
After inhalation: lung cancers. After ingestion of soluble compounds: intoxication, kidney illness.
Uranium is a toxic element. Intoxication with uranium in soluble form affect the kidneys (renal diseases may occur), so abnormality of uremia is very possible. See also: http://stinet.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA465204&Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf
