AQUA REGIA
|
||||
| One part HNO3 and three parts of HCl when mixed together, the mixture so obtained is called Aqua Regia. Noble metals such as gold,platinum are not dissolved either of the acid alone but in Aqua Regia they easily dissolve due to liberation of atomic Cl which is highly reactive. | ||||

SULPHURIC
ACID AS A DEHYDRATING AGENT
|
||||
| Sulphuric
acid removes hydrogen and oxygen in certain compounds in the ratio 2:1 and
behaves as a powerful dehydrating agent. Following examples illustrate its dehydrating ability. |
