Fluorosulfuric acid is one of the strongest of the commercially available acids. It is about a quarter stronger than sulfuric acid. Also known as fluorosulfonic acid, it's formula is FSO3H where the sulfur double bonds to each of two oxygen atoms, and single bonds to a fluorine atom and to an oxygen-hydrogen ion. If it will help, it looks like a molecule of sulfuric acid, except one of the oxygen-hydrogen ions is replaced with that fluorine atom. This stuff is nasty, and it'll tear up most all organic compounds. More information is available at the Wikipedia article on fluorosulfuric acid. A link is provided.

Why is acid alcohol rather than ethyl alcohol used as a decolorizing agent in the acid fast staining experiment?
Alcohol is a term used for any O-H group that is attached to a carbon. Perhapes the alcohol is found in a Safranin stain. I hope I have this right but if alcohol was used as the decolorizing agent, it may wash out too much stain to get a good view in an oil emersion microscope.

What is the pH of fluorosulfuric acid?
The pKa of the fluorosulfuric acid is -10; HSO3F is a very strong acid, a so-called superacid. Ka is the dissociation constant; pKa is the decimal logarithm of Ka.
Why acetic acid is used in fouchet test?
The acetic acid is used in fouchet test because it is used to test a particular type of mineral.
What the code for a particular amino acid is made possible by three bases using the element?
Which particular amino acid? Which element? This question is too vague!
What would happen if the concentration of a particular amino acid is greater than the Tm?
If the Tm for a particular amino acid has been exceeded, all the filtered amino acid will fail to absorb. This will cause the excess to secrete into the filtrate.
What criterion is used in selecting an indicator for a particular acid-base titration?
the factors are - 1. the kind of titration ie strong acid -strong base,strong acid -weak base,weak acid-strong base,weakacid -weak base. 2.the endpoint 3. the rate of rxn
Is vinger a alkali?
No. Vinegar is acidic: acetic acid in particular.
What happens when some acid is put onto a piece of rock?

What is the purpose of a purity test?
Purity tests are used to determine the extent to which a particular substance is what is claimed. A classic purity test for gold is nitric acid; if the item being examined reacts to the acid it is not gold, or at least not pure gold.
