Limestone and dolomite are sometimes differentiated by applying a solution of this molecule to the rock, since dolomite will only react with it if powdered.
A solution of this molecule is often used to extract impurities in the Kolbe nitrile synthesis. Limestone and dolomite are sometimes differentiated by applying a solution of this molecule to the rock, since dolomite will only react with it if powdered. Manganese dioxide reacts with this compound in the Weldon process, and the Alkali Act of 1863 required soda producers using the Leblanc process to absorb ninety-five percent of this byproduct. It is combusted in the Deacon process. The Lucas reagent consists of zinc chloride dissolved in a solution of this molecule, and the Clemmensen reduction proceeds in the presence of a zinc amalgam and this molecule. For 10 points, name this strong acid that combines with nitric acid to form aqua regia.
