They are both dangerous. But if I had to choose, I would say nitric acid. Even if sulfuric acid could cause thermal burns along with chemical burns due to its dehydrating properties, it is nowhere as toxic as nitric acid.
Sulfuric acid.
it is acid it burns everything in its path.
Not necessarily; depends on the chemical and time of exposure.
Only as hot as it is outside. The burns associated with it are chemical, not thermal.
Chemical, producing hydrogen chloride which when added to water produces hydrochloric acid.
If you mean 'Alkali (s) , or base, it is the opposite of an acid. And like acids on skin, it can cause and feel like burns - it can actually cause chemical burns. I have had such an experience from hydrochloric acid personally, and it is very painful. So alkalis can cause chemical burns, and cause a burning feeling on exposed skin.
Acid is a major chemical that behaves both as an acid and as a base. Another chemical would be KOH.
If you are infected with a disease while immersed in hydrochloric acid, you will receive severe chemical burns in addition to the symptoms of your illness. If you added HCl to a sample of a virus or bacteria, it is likely the acid would cause the same damage to the pathogen as it did to you. Short answer: it would damage all parties involved.
GO TO A VET....... and get the acid washed out just like if you got a chemical in your eyes. They wash it out.
The only burns I've ever heard of when it comes to the vocal cords would be a chemical burn caused by stomach acid (silent acid reflux). I'm not sure about other ways (unless you're a fire eater), but usually the vocal cords can be pretty safe against burns.
Ethanoic acid is a great solution for removing lime scale buildup in sinks and bathtubs, for instance. Ethanoic acid is a harsh chemical that burns away the lime.
