sulphuric acid can be upto 78% concentrated

>>>>

Typically, "concentrated" acid can be upto around 98%. It can be taken to 100% however will fume and absorb water from the atmosphere if it can until it reaches around 98% again.

Nitric acid is much lower - conc is usually just under 70% - beyond that it give off reddish gold gas (nitrogen dioxide) which is incredibly caustic to inhale (causes death by drowning upto two days later as the lungs dissolve and fill with fluid. Reason being nitrogen dioxide and water convert to concentrated nitric acid)

Hydrochloric acid is lower still - around 33-35% beyond that it will fume of hydrogen chloride gas until the concentration reverts to around 33-35%. Unlike the other two acids mentioned above, hydrochloric will eventually evaporate away without trace - so is used for cleaning things like swimming pool surroundings - as once it has dried, there is no acid left.

What is the concentration of concentrated sulphuric acid?

Sulfuric acid is used because it combines with water to produce electrolytes. Inside a car battery, these electrolytes cover the battery plates,and henceforth is utilized to power the engine turnover on startup.


What are the uses of concentrated sulphuric acid?

Concentrated sulphuric acid is a cheaper chemical reagent when compared to many others. Although there are many uses of this acid in various industries. Some of them are shown below.Manufacturing of superphosphate fertilizers and other types. (This is the most important usage of concentrated sulphuric acid).Paint industry - In preparing pigments , as an example titanium dioxide can be taken.Industry of artificial fibre - Some of the example materials are rayon and plastic.Detergent industry - Alkyl or aryl sulphonates are often used as the active ingredient of detergent powder.Petroleum industry - Extracting alkenes.Steel industry - When preparing steel, sulphuric acid is used to remove the oxide layer which lies on the iron metal surface.Manufacture of various organic and inorganic compounds such as drugs, paints, metallic sulphates etc.


What reacts with sulphuric acid?

Sulphuric acid is an acid, so many substances react with it. It will be impractical to list down all the things that would react with sulphuric acid as there are enormously too many! Examples are metals, metal oxides and metal carbonates.


How many molar is concentrated hydrochloric acid?

The molarity of hydrochloric acid 36,5 % (concentrated acid) is 10 M.


Is Concentrated hydrochloric Acid a weekly or a strongly Acid?

Concentrated HCl acid is a very strong acid. Note the word 'concentrated'. What does it mean? Concentrated really means that the amount of hydrogen ions in it is very high. The strength of an acid depends upon the amount of hydrogen ions present. If the ions are more, then it is a concentrated acid and if the hydrogen ions are less, then it is a weak acid. As it is strong, handle it cautiously or may cause burns. I believe this satisfies your question.

How can you heat water without using fire?

Heat can be generated in many ways- friction, chemical action, electrical resistance, solar energy, etc. Fire is quick and easy, but if you have an electric stove or microwave, you use a non-fire heating process all the time.
