Under what conditions does dilute sulfuric acid react with mercury? Can mercury dissolve in water?

Reply #22011-05-26

Metallic mercury is insoluble in water, while the mercury compounds that are readily soluble in water include mercurous chloride, mercuric sulfate, mercuric nitrate, mercurous hypochlorite, and various alkylmercuries. Therefore, sudden water pollution incidents are generally caused by these water-soluble mercury compounds. Solubility: Insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid, and dilute sulfuric acid; soluble in concentrated nitric acid; readily soluble in aqua regia.
