It dissolves it.
When wool is dipped in sulphuric acid, it undergoes a process called sulfonation. The acid reacts with the wool fibers, breaking down the protein structure and causing them to dissolve. This process can be used to modify the properties of wool for various industrial applications.
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid can both react with steel wool to produce hydrogen gas. Sodium hydroxide may also corrode the steel wool by forming iron oxide. Hydrochloric acid can dissolve the steel wool as it reacts with the iron to form iron chloride.
I am not sure but it might be alkali pH.
Depends on whether you leave the steel wool in the Pepsi. If you take it out, the water in the Pepsi will cause the steel wool to rust away. If you leave it in, the phosphoric acid will slowly dissolve the steel wool.
These substances are dyes applied at low pH, generally on wool.
Because the surface area of iron wool is higher, the area exposed to acid is higher.
If a concentrated acid spills on cloth or wool, it can cause the fabric to deteriorate rapidly due to the acidic nature of the substance. The acid can react with the fibers in the fabric, breaking down their chemical structure and causing them to weaken or dissolve. This can result in permanent damage or destruction of the fabric.
When a concentrated acid spills on cloth or wool, it can cause immediate damage by breaking down the fabric fibers. This can result in discoloration, weakening, and potential deterioration of the fabric. It is important to neutralize the acid quickly with a suitable solution and then wash the affected area thoroughly to prevent further damage.
When a concentrated acid is spilled on cloth or wool, it can cause immediate burning and damage to the fabric. The acid can react with the fibers, weakening or breaking them, leading to holes or deterioration of the material. It is important to act quickly by rinsing the affected area with plenty of water to dilute and remove the acid, and to seek professional help for proper cleaning or disposal.
A gentle abrasive, like tooth paste and cotton wool, will do that. However if you insist on acid, you can add to the cotton wool any acid, because the tarnish is silver sulphide and the acid will convert it to hydrogen sulphide, a gas
By answering this question I'm assuming you meant steel wool? Vinegar is a weak acid but exposure over extended periods of time will cause corrosion to metals.
After 20 minutes in vinegar, steel wool will start to dissolve due to the acetic acid in the vinegar reacting with the iron in the steel wool. This will cause the steel wool to become thinner, weaker, and discolored.
