[QUOTE="user 1769, post: 173683, member: 1769"] I also used to play with mercury as a kid and I turned out alright (some might disagree! ;)). So far as I know metallic mercury does not dissolve in water. However heated or vapour-phase mercury might oxidise a little, and mercury oxides could form a hydroxide in contact with water, or carbonates. Mercury salts are somewhat soluble. I think, like everything, it's just about being informed about how to do it safely. [/QUOTE]
