Can you Substitute hydrochloric acid for phosphomolybdic acid?

Answer 1

NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Sulphuric acid IS BATTERY ACID!!!!! Have you ever gotten a pin head size amount of sulphuric acid on your hand from the car battery? Sulphuric acid will burn your skin right now. If while using this type acid and while pouring it into the pool it splashes back onto you landing on your shoes, clothes or shirt - - - well you've lost that piece of clothing. However, if is splashes up onto your face or into your eyes - - you could be disfigured for life. You have NO TIME to find a hose or even dive into the pool to remove this acid. It burns and destroys on contact!! DO NOT BE A CASUALTY AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

Answer 2

There is a difference between "can" and "should."

You can mix the two acids all day long, if you don't mind getting huge amounts of hydrogen chloride gas, an extreme amount of liberated heat and maybe an explosion...which is why you should not mix the two acids.

Answer 3

No, hydrochloric acid and phosphomolybdic acid are not interchangeable. Hydrochloric acid is a strong mineral acid used primarily for pH adjustment and chemical reactions, while phosphomolybdic acid is a reagent used for detection of phosphates and DNA. Substituting one for the other could lead to incorrect results or undesired chemical reactions.

Answer 4

Add BaCl2 solution to both acids. If a white precipitate is formed, the acis is sulfuric acid. The white precipitate is BaSO4.

Answer 5

Yeah it is, don't know why though

Answer 6

yes
