Are there solvents for mercury??

A nitric acid solution should break mercury down to it's ions.

Drop Mg or Zn or something like that in HCl.  Or use electrolysis on water, but that's a lot harder.

I will make NaOH from the electrolysis of brine(saturated NaCl solution) using graphite anode and mercury cathode. On electrolysis, sodium will combine with mercury to form sodium amalgam(Na/Hg). Then make that sodium amalgam to combine with water(H20) so that we can get NaOH.

Cinnabar which is Mercury Sulfide (although there are about 25 mercury ores known, this is the one most often used commercially). \n\nHgS. Mercuric (mercury) sulphide. Most mercury mined comes from cinnabar ore (rock containing cinnabar mineralization). The color of cinnabar ranges from cinnamon to brick and scarlet red, which explains its historic use as a pigment, mainly in paints but also as a traditional colorant for foods. \n\nMecury ores in Spain contain 12-14% mercury although in most places the ore is typically about 1%. Some samples contain up to 86%! Cinnabar is also mined in Texas (in fact, Indians used it for red paint), Peru, Slovenia -- mercury is found everywhere. \n\nMercury is easy to recover from Cinnabar. Ore is crushed to typically 1" to 2" in size then sent to a kiln. Simply heating the ore in a kiln to 1,100 Deg. F, all of the mercury will vaporize into the kiln (mercury vaporizes at 675 deg F). The kiln vapors then must be condensed, by cooling, to recover the mercury, which becomes liquid at temperatures below 675 deg F and freezes solid at 2.8 Deg. F. Some free mercury in the ore can be recovered on Deister wet gravity concentration tables, also. \n\nTypical minerals found with cinnabar include silica, calcite, pyrite, marcasite and bitumen. These minerals often comprise the waste material in a mercury mine.

Any metal whose concentration can be determined by ICP (inductively coupled plasma).  Pretty much any metal but mercury.

Mercury is an elemental compound and has the chemical symbol Hg.  As such, you can not "chemically" make it.  The chief source of Mercury is from an ore called cinnbar (HgS)  You mine the ore -- Spain and Italy produce about 50% of the world's supply.

Mercury and Bromine are the only liquids in the Periodic table. Francium, cesium, gallium, and rubidium are four elements that melt at temperatures slightly higher than room temperature.

Hi. Archimedes found the most reliable method, displacement. Of course he did not try mercury as a displacement fluid.

From en.wikipedia.org:\n\n"Gold does not react with most chemicals but is attacked by chlorine, fluorine, aqua regia and cyanide. Gold dissolves in Mercury. In particular, gold is insoluble in nitric acid, which will dissolve most other metals. Nitric acid has long been used to confirm the presence of gold in items."

None.  The sell chemicals with alkyl groups.  In CH3Cl, CH3 is the alkyl.  They don't exist on their own.  Start with\n\nhttp://www.sigmaaldrich.com/Local/SA_Splash.html

you can find it in most college organic chemistry textbooks. A couple of my favorites are McMurry or Solomons.\nGrignard reagents are also called organometallic compounds where you take an organic compound(usually an alkyl halide) and react it with a metal, most of the time we use magnesium.\nso for example you could combine bromobenzene reacts with magnesium metal(using an organic solvent like ether) to produce phenylmagnesium bromide.\nfor more look at those textbooks. you'll find lots more.

HgO ------> Hg + O2 at about 400 C\n\nMg + CuCl2 ---------->  MgCl2 + Cu(solid)\n\nMg, being higly electropositive than Cu, replaces Cu.

Price: depends on where you live, since different countries have different supply chains (or delivery fees). Probably even applies to different US states. Consult online catalogues of suppliers like Sigma-Aldrich or Merck.\n\nToxicity: mercury vapours are highly toxic and cause mercury deposits in fatty tissue and jaws. Mercury poisoning causes dementia, as in "mad as a hatter" (in the 19th century, felt was made with mercury as a curing agent, and hatters working the felt usually got mercury poisoning). Mercury salts are highly toxic (blocking vital respiration enzymes).\n\nIn short: don't use mercury "at home" if you can avoid it. There are some lab uses like polarography which use the amalgating properties of the metal in order to analyze strongly electronegative elements in watery solution, but in most other applications mercury has been replaced by other materials.

Mercury is a liquid because of it's properties.\nVisit http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele080.html
