chemical in the world.
was first
produced in the 9th century
by the Arabian Chemist
Jabir ibn Hayyan. Sulfiric
acid is found in small
amounts in acid rainrain.
is a major
component of volcanic
emissions.
Sulfuric acid
________ can
damage cancerous cell
DNA, hence used to
manufacture
chemotherapy drugs.
___________ is also
used as an ingredient
in skin ointments to
treat skin infections,
such as canker sores.
Concentrated sulfuric
acid is harmful to the
skin. It can cause
severe skin burns,
injury, and pain.
Sulfuric acid
Molecular formula - H2SO4,
H2O4S
Consistency: Oily
Boiling point - 337 degrees
Celsius
Molecular weight - 98.08 g/mol
Color - corless to dark brown
Odor - odorless liquid
_________ is a colorless oily
liquid. It is soluble in water with
release of heat. It is corrosive to
metals and tissue. It will char
wood and most other organic
matter on contact, but is unlikely
to cause a fire. It has a Density
of 15 lb / gal. Long term
exposure to low concentrations
or short term exposure to high
concentrations can result in
adverse health effects from
inhalation.
__________ is a highly
corrosive strong mineral acid
with the molecular formula
H2SO4. It is a pungent-ethereal,
colorless to slightly yellow
viscous liquid which is soluble
in water at all concentrations.
Sometimes, it is dyed dark
brown during production to alert
people to its hazards.

Battery acid
Hydrogen
sulfate
Oil of vitriol
Mattling acid
Sulfuric acid
(aqueous)
Sulfuric acid
____________ is the third
most common acid in nature,
after sulfuric acid and nitric
acid.
It is found in rocks, soil, and
water
_____________ is an
important nutrient for plants
and animals.
It is used in the production
of ATP, the energy currency
of cells.
Phosphoric
acid
__________ is
used in a variety of
applications,
including:
Production of
fertilizers
Manufacture of
detergents
Food additive
Production of
pharmaceuticals
Metal cleaning and
etching
Water treatment
Environmental impact
Phosphoric
acid
_________ can
be released into the
environment from
industrial activities
such as mining and
fertilizer production.
It can also be released
from wastewater
treatment plants.
Phosphoric acid can
contribute to water
pollution and
eutrophication.
Phosphoric
acid
__________ is a
colorless, odorless, and viscous
liquid at room temperature. It is
a triprotic acid, meaning that it
can donate three protons (H+) to
water.
____________ is highly soluble
in water and forms a variety of
hydrates.
Phosphoric
acid
Orthophosphoric
acid
White
phosphoric acid
Sonac
Phosphoric
acid
_________ is a strong
oxidizing agent. It ionizes
readily in solution, forming a
good conductor of
electricity. It reacts with
metals, oxides, and
hydroxides, forming nitrate
salts.
___________ decomposes into
water, nitrogen dioxide, and
oxygen, forming a brownish
yellow solution. It is a strong
acid, completely ionized into
hydronium (H3O+) and
nitrate (NO3−) ions in
aqueous solution, and a
powerful oxidizing agent
(one that acts as electron
acceptor in
oxidation-reduction
reactions). Among the many
important reactions of nitric
acid are: neutralization with
ammonia to form
Nitric acid
Fertilizers
Explosives
Adhesives
Medicinal
Purifying metals
Dye intermediate
Engraving
Drug detection
Furniture coating
Laboratory use
Nitric acid
The nature of __________ is
strong and it is a monoprotic
acid.
__________ is mainly found in a
liquid state having an odd,
pungent, and suffocating odour.
The molar mass of nitric acid is
63.01 g/mol and its density is
1.51g/cm3.
Various concentrations of __________ are available on our earth.
These variations are usually
colourless or maybe yellow or
red according to their respective
concentration.
Reacts violently or vigorously
with many non-metallic
compounds. When reacted with
metals, these metals dissolve in
them to produce metal oxides.
