Mercury(II) fulminate is prepared by dissolving mercury in nitric acid and adding ethanol to the solution. Silver fulminate can be prepared in a similar way, but this salt is even more unstable than mercury fulminate; it can even explode under water and is impossible to accumulate in large amounts because it detonates under its own weight.
