Aqua Regia is a mix of highly concentrated Sulphuric and Nitric acids. It is arguably the most corrosive chemical available, outstripping Hydrofluric acid (the most reactive simple acid) by miles. It can dissolve gold and etch glass. If it splashed human skin the damage would be rapid and devistating. The only treatment would be a strong alkali to hopefully neutralise some of the acid (though the reaction could be violent) and copious water to wash the area. Surgical repair would undoubtedly be needed.
If a certain dosage of aqua regia hits a human skin does it create skin burn and what is the best antidote?
the best antidote is lye (sodium hydroxide), but then you have to add the perfect amount so you don't get burned by it (LoL). Better go with baking soda
