Mercury(I) sulfate has been found to decompose at high temperatures. The decomposition process is ], and it occurs between 335&nbsp;°C and 500&nbsp;°C.

Mercury(I) sulfate has unique properties that make the standard cells possible. It has a rather low solubility (about one gram per liter); diffusion from the cathode system is not excessive; and it is sufficient to give a large potential at a mercury electrode.<ref>"Sulphates of Mercury and Standard Cells." by Elliott, R. B. and Hulett, G. A. ''The Journal of Physical Chemistry'' 36.7 (1932): 2083–2086.
