Gunzberg's test

Gunzberg's test is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of hydrochloric acid. Gunzberg's reagent is made by dissolving two grams of phloroglucinol and one gram of vanillin in 100 millilitres of 95% ethanol. Hydrochloric acid catalyses Gunzberg's reagent to form a red complex.[1][2]

Procedure

Two drops of gastric juice are mixed with two drops of Gunzberg's reagent in an evaporating dish. The mixture is evaporated and if red is seen, free hydrochloric acid is present.[3]

gollark: Mostly you can, *after* you've downloaded the packages.
gollark: It's because pulling in external dependencies is more convenient than having to program everything yourself or whatever, although npm has gone too far with `is-number` and `is-thirteen` and whatever.
gollark: That's possible, yes. Most Node.js applications use a lot of packages, because npm.
gollark: Most communication already isn't done by satellites, but tons of stuff relies on GPS - not even just for navigation, I think phone towers and stuff use it for timing too.
gollark: It's apparently part of a series of similar pieces, which seems interesting.
