    Trump base is pretty corrosive…

      Says the person injecting politics into a science community.

        Pretty sure they brought the politics into science.

    Fluoroantimonic acid has entered the chat.

    Why would that be your first choice when stuff like hydrofluoric acid exists?

      HF isn’t that “strong” of an acid. It’s very dangerous due to it being a pretty bad contact poison.

        The post literally says dangerous though. And there are way “stronger” acids than sulfuric acid too so the post still doesn’t make sense

          Oh, I wasn’t disagreeing with you. The 2 times I’ve used HF was enough for me. While sulfuric is definitely not the strongest, many lists ranking the “strength of acids” have it on top. I assume that’s where OP got that idea.

          Someone else posted Fluoroantimonic acid, which seems like the one (at least for Hammett acidity function).

    Are you sure sulphuric is the most dangerous acid?

      I just remember my science teacher saying 20 years ago it was and dumped it on a wooden table and it ate right thru it.

        It’s like probably the most dangerous “normal” acid. There are some badass mf acids out there

    It gets much worse than H2SO4.
