This compound acts as a catalyst in aromatic nitration, and it is typically used along with amercury(II) compound in the hydration of alkynes.
This compound acts as a catalyst in aromatic nitration, and it is typically used along with amercury(II) compound in the hydration of alkynes. This compound is mixed with chromium trioxideand water in the Jones reagent. One industrial process for the production of this compound works byoxidizing a certain element into its trioxide, then converting it into oleum, which is a (*) "fuming"form of this compound. That process uses a vanadium pentoxide catalyst, replaced the earlier lead chamberprocess, and is known as the contact process. This substance has a pKa of around negative 13. Once knownas oil of vitriol and found in battery acid, for 10 points, name this strong diprotic acid with formula H2SO4.
