The dynamic structure factor S(Q,omega) of expanded fluid Hg has been measured up to the metal-nonmetal transition region at 9.0 g cm(-3) (1723 K and 1940 bars) using high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering, at momentum transfers, Q, from 0.2 to 4.8 Angstrom(-1). Analysis in the framework of generalized hydrodynamics reveals that the frequencies of the collective excitations increase faster with Q than estimated from the macroscopic speed of sound. The effective sound velocity at 9.0 g cm(-3) estimated from the dispersion relation is triple the ultrasonic sound velocity. The present result suggests the existence of fast sound in expanded fluid Hg accompanying the metal-nonmetal transition.
