molybdic acid

Molybdenum trioxide dissolves slightly in water to give "molybdic acid."

The salts of molybdic acid are called molybdates.

Solutions of ammonium paramolybdate react with acids to form molybdic acid and an ammonium salt.

Molybdic acid refers to solid, hydrated forms of molybdenum trioxide and species in aqueous solution.

Dissolving molybdate salts in strong acid produces "molybdic acid", MoO.2HO.

It is composed of a mixture of molybdic acid or sodium molybdate and hot, concentrated sulfuric acid, which is then dripped onto the substance being tested.

An alternative formulation involves "digesting" molybdenum sulfide with nitric acid to form molybdic acid, which is then mixed with tin filings and a little muriatic acid (HCl).
