when sulfuric acid is held in steel
steel sure.
Sulfuric Acid
sulfuric acid or sulphuric acid
Both Hydrochloric Acid and Sulfuric Acid will corrode steel. HCl is used as a "pickling agent" for steel by converting rust (Iron Oxide) to Ferrous Chloride. H2SO4 is also capable of attacking Iron and Magnesium to form Metal-Sulfate mineral complexes. The corrosion rate of steel in sulfuric acid depends on temperature and concentration. In storage tanks and pipes the corrosion rate is also a function of flow velocity. but if you try flourosulphuric acid then it will literally make the steel disappear.... and acids like carborane and magic acid these are strongest acids
steel
Fe + H2SO4(aq) -> FeO + H2O + SO2
Sulfuric Acid is a powerful acid and not a base.
Sulfuric acid
Sulfuric acid is a reagent.
Sulfuric acid is H2SO4
Sulfuric acid degrades
Concentrated sulfuric acid has sulfuric acid molecules where dilute sulfuric acid has sulfate ions and hydrogen ions. Water in the diluted solution acts as the ionization medium.
