7. Historical Background- discovery of compound- who and how?

# data[].attributes.body
One source says that it is related to the findings of Mitscherlich in 1827. No sources name the person(s) who had discovered the compound.

# data[].attributes.body
Unknown/ As an oxidizing agent.

# data[].attributes.body
It is used as a specialized oxidation agent. It is a stronger oxidizer than sulfuric acid. It is capable of liberating chlorine from chloride ions, but is reduced to selenous acid in the process.

11. How the compound is obtained, made, synthesized, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Selenic acid is made by oxidation of Selenium Dioxide with Hydrogen Peroxide or by the oxidation of selenous acid with a strong oxidizing agent. Another way it can be made is by reacting selenium with chlorine in water.

# data[].attributes.body
Something unique about selenic acid is that it is able to dissolve gold.There was an experiment conducted to is selenic acid could dissolve gold a according to Mitscherlich. When cold nothing happened. When the acid is hot and concentrated the gold dissolves into a reddish yellow solution.
