Dosage

Uses. The major use is in protecting and changing the color of steel, especially steel parts on firearms. The so-called cold-bluing process uses selenous acid, copper(II) nitrate, and nitric acid to change the color of the steel from silver-grey to blue-grey or black.

SELENOUS ACID

Notes

Selenium dioxide is very soluble in water, and selenous acid, H2SeO3, can be isolated from the aqueous solutions. ... Both selenic and telluric acids are diprotic acids, with the former being much stronger than the latter (Kat: H2SeO4 1; H6TeO6 ~ 10−7). Both acids are much stronger oxidizing agents than sulfuric acid.
