Mercury does not react with non-oxidizing acids but does react with concentrated nitric acid, HNO3, or concentrated sulphuric acid, H2SO4, to form mercury(II) compounds together with nitrogen or sulphur oxides. Mercury dissolves slowly in dilute nitric acid to form mercury(I) nitrate, mercurous nitrate, Hg2(NO3)2. Mercury tends to react with particular groups of elements or compounds. Mercury also reacts with oxygen at high temperatures to form mercury (II) oxide, which is a red powder. Similarly, mercury reacts with oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, because they contain oxygen.
