'''Mercury(II) nitrate''' is an ] with the ] {{chem2|Hg(NO3)2|auto=1}}. It is the ](II) ] of ] {{chem2|HNO3}}.

Anhydrous and hydrous ]s are colorless or white ] crystalline solids that are occasionally used as a ]s. Mercury(II) nitrate is made by treating mercury with hot concentrated nitric acid.

==Health information==
'''Mercury(II) nitrate''' is a toxic colorless or white ] crystalline ](II) ] of ]. It was also used to treat ] to make ] in a process called 'carroting'. The phrase ']' is associated with psychological illness brought on by excessive exposure to mercury(II) nitrate.<ref>{{cite web|title = The Not-So-Mad Hatter: Occupational Hazards of Mercury|url = http://www.cas.org}}</ref> The practice continued in the United States until it was banned in December 1941 by The ]. It is made by reacting hot concentrated ] with ] metal; dilute nitric acid would produce ]. It is an ].
] compounds are highly toxic. The use of this compound by ] and the subsequent ] of said hatters is a common theory of where the phrase "]" came from.
