Because the muriatic acid will eat everything else up too, including your pipe!!!

Do plants grow better in loose soil?
yes because they easily get minerals reqired for growth in loose soils.
How does temperature affect the growth of igneous rock crystals?
the lower the temperture the better the crystals the higher the temperture the wrosts the crystals
When was Growth of the Soil created?
Growth of the Soil was created in 1917.
Do insects in the soil affect the plant growth?
ya insects affects the growth if there earthworm presents it is good for the growth of plants
What are the benefits of artificially manipulating the environment in which plants are grown?
There is a better crop quality (bigger, less impurities) Quicker crop growth; so food price is decreased as there is more food available
Can muriatic acid be used in toilets to remove root growth?
No, Use copper sulfate or root-x depending on what is allowed in your state.
What is promine sulfate?
Promine, which promotes growth, and retine, which retards growth.
How to Purify Copper by Plating?
The process of plating copper is relatively simple with the right materials and know-how. This tutorial will cover a basic copper plating procedure which is used on a large industrial scale to achieve high-purity copper.There are several materials needed for this process. The first and most obvious is the impure copper to be refined. Also needed will be copper II sulfate, water, a DC power source, and some lengths of wire.The first step is to make a saturated solution of copper II sulfate, which has a maximum solubility of 316g per liter of water. The final solution should be dark blue.Two copper electrodes are then introduced into the copper sulfate bath. One of these electrodes consists of the impure copper sample and the other is simply a copper wire.The DC power source is applied to the two electrodes. The positive side (anode) of the supply is connected to the impure copper block while the negative side (cathode) is attached to the copper wire.Copper has only positive oxidation states and is therefore attracted to the negative electrode. Pure copper is pulled from the solution of copper sulfate and attaches itself to the wire electrode, breaking the sulfate anion off and creating a weak solution of sulfuric acid. The acid then eats at the impure copper, turning it into more copper sulfate. Effectively, the copper from the impure anode is transferred to the cathode, leaving all its impurities behind. The copper plated onto the cathode will be very pure.Cell current should be monitored carefully as high current causes hydrogen bubbles to form on the cathode and will inhibit the growth of the pure copper. If the power supply does not have a current limiting adjustment, the spacing between the anode and cathode can be varied to regulate the current. The closer the electrodes, the higher the current flow and vice versa.Never dispose of the used copper sulfate down the drain as it is an environmental hazard. Simply evaporate the solution to recover the copper sulfate for later use.

What to do to clear algae growth in chlorine system pool?
First of all I'm not a pool expert, but I've owned a pool for a bought 25 yrs. I live in Ohio and I have a 23,000 gallon vinyl liner pool with a sand filter system. First thing you need to do is make sure your alkalinity is at least 50 ppm. for copper sulfate to work properly. My pool used to be totally dark green when I opened it. I now use 2 table spoons of copper sulfate when I open it in the spring and it goes from green to clear in a bought 2 days. I also use the same amount in the fall when I close it, but make sure you circulate the water for 2 days before you close it. Make sure you mix the copper sulfate with water in a plastic container, make sure the blue crystals are dissolved. I use a 2 gallon plastic container with a sprinkler head on it like you use to water flowers with, this makes it easy to sprinkle the copper sulfate mixed with water in the pool evenly. You can buy copper sulfate at your local hardware store or on ebay. I'm sorry this information is so long, but I know what you're going through, because I've been through it. I hope this helps you. P.S. I only use use copper sufate in the spring and the fall. I do not use it during the season as a chlorine substitute as some people say they do, as to much copper in your water can cause you problems.
What is the chemical properties of copper?
It has a boiling boint of exactly 2035 degree. This is for the usage of growth rings of the copper penny
Where did Copper Canyon get its name?
From the green growth (moss, etc.) on the canyon walls that makes it look like copper ore.
How does copper penny work in vase of flowers?
Copper is an algacide. When placed in water the copper penny or any other small piece of copper will start to act with the oxygen in the water and oxidise (the copper turning blue green in the process). The increased level of copper in the water retards or prevents the growth of algae in the vase. Works best in clear glass vases where algal growth is normally high.
