What is HCrO4?
What is HCrO4?
Chromate (CrO42-), hydrogen. 0. hydrogen chromate. hydroxidodioxidochromate(1-) HCrO4(-)
Is H2CrO4 a strong acid?
Here’s the thing: Chromic acid, H2CrO4, is a strong acid and a reagent for oxidizing alcohols to ketones and carboxylic acids.
What is the formula for Dichromic acid?
H2CrO4
What is the correct formula for hydroiodic acid?
HI
What is the correct formula for Hydrophosphoric acid?
H3P
Which weak acid is the strongest?
Weak acids are only slightly ionized. Phosphoric acid is stronger than acetic acid and so is ionized to a greater extent. Acetic acid is stronger than carbonic acid, and so on….Strong and Weak Acids and Acid Ionization Constant.
| Acid | Conjugate Base |
|---|---|
| HCl (hydrochloric acid) (strongest) | Cl− (chloride ion) (weakest) |
| H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) | HSO4− (hydrogen sulfate ion) |
Can you actually dissolve a body in hydrofluoric acid?
Hydrofluoric acid is very nasty stuff, but it isn’t a strong acid. Even when dilute it will etch glass and ceramics, but it won’t dissolve or burn flesh. Concentrated alkalis such as Sodium Hydroxide are readily available and are very good at dissolving flesh (which is why they are commonly used as drain cleaners).
Why do they put lime in graves?
As people were left to die, lime would be put on their corpse to keep the smell of decaying flesh down. Low pH soil is an indicator for a mass grave as the decomposition products are acidic and lower the soil pH. Adding lime reduces this acidity masking (trying to mask) the presence of a mass grave.
How does Lye kill you?
A single taste of lye would cause third-degree burns on the mouth and the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. If a sufficiently large dose of lye is swallowed, the alkali can cause perforations in the esophagus and stomach, which can lead to death in fatal cases.
What happens if you drink lye water?
Lye water (sometimes called ‘Lime Water’) is a strong (caustic) liquid that is safe to use in very small amounts in cooking, but it can be dangerous if lye water is swallowed undiluted straight from the bottle. It can cause severe corrosive burns to the throat, oesophagus and stomach with permanent damage if swallowed.
How long does lye water last?
There were containers of lye in solution that were close to 10 years old. Properly stored, it will last nearly indefinitely. Be aware that the bottle does tend to grow crystals, even using lab grade stuff after a while.
Why is lye dangerous?
Lye can burn the skin and damage the eyes in the dry or wet form. It also releases fumes, when mixed with water, that can harm the lungs. If swallowed, lye will burn the esophagus and can cause death.
What is the substitute for lye water?
baking soda solution
What is the difference between lye and lime?
The Chemistry of Lye The “good stuff,” lye, remains in solution. If potash replaces soda ash, the result is potassium hydroxide. While lime is more alkaline than soda ash, when reacted together they produce a stronger alkali than either of the two separately. Synonyms for lye are caustic soda, and sodium hydroxide.
Is Lye a cement?
It is the sodium and potassium oxides from the cement which, in combination with water, form hydroxides that are primarily responsible. These hydroxides (also known as caustic soda or lye and caustic potash) aggressively react to dissolve animal or vegetable matter.
