Well becasue the sulfamic acid is formed in a giant, roaring volcano in hawai, the sulfamic acid slowly over 10 million years disintigrates the lime scale 1 atom at a time you can tell this by using the simple formula of s=1x10^6-2y(35.6*0.11112)/0.3455471=sulfamic acid. Beacuse the limescale atoms have strong bonds with the nucleus, it is very very hard for the sulfamic acid to break them, so the sulfamic acid gets his acid gang and they break the limescales legs. Overall the best way to remove limescale is to hit your kettle with a sledgehammer, unless you can hire a hitman to blow up your kettle.
THE GAME.
A lime with calcium hydroxide is a base.
You mean lime the fruit? Citric acid.
Weak acids, such as citric acid or vinegar, are used to remove limescale in coffee machines because they are effective at breaking down mineral deposits without causing damage to the machine. The weak acidity helps to dissolve the limescale buildup and clean the internal components of the coffee machine without corroding them.
If u add water to lime it will be lime water which is base thus when acid reacts with base then that will be "neutralization reaction". And formation of salt and water will take place. It will be exothermic in nature.
Lime water is used during the reaction of the acid sample with marble chips to test for the presence of carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide is produced during the reaction, it will react with the lime water to form a white precipitate of calcium carbonate, confirming the presence of carbon dioxide in the acid sample.
Yes, sulfamic acid can be used to clean lime and scale deposits on slate tiles. It is effective in breaking down these deposits without damaging the slate surface. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use proper safety precautions when handling sulfamic acid.
Ethanoic acid is a great solution for removing lime scale buildup in sinks and bathtubs, for instance. Ethanoic acid is a harsh chemical that burns away the lime.
Most acids will remove limescale which is basically calcium carbonate. Even though sulfamic acid is classed as a weak acid and does not produce many protons, it does produce some. The generic equation for this reaction is: CaCO3 + 2H+ -----> Ca2+ (soluble and can be washed away) + H2O + CO2 Sulfamic acid prefers calcium carbonate ("lime" or "scale" over metal). There are "inhibited" sulfamic acids that actually are even better at "choosing" the scale over the metal surfaces. Basically, the acid attacks the scale and re-dissolves it adding a H molecule to the carbonate, making bicarbonate. This, then weakens the crystalline structure and forces the Calcium (+2) to reach for stabilizing electrons from the water. Some dissolves, most falls off into solution. When removing calcium carbonate, sulfamic acid should not be in the system for more than 8 hours, or passivation of metal (referring to galvanized steel) will deteriorate and require repassivation with phosphate treatments. However, in cases of severe scaling, this may be the only way. Typically, it takes two (2) pounds of sulfamic acid per every one (1) pound of scale. So buying tubs of sulfamic acid at 100 pounds each isn't uncommon. AFCO and many other suppliers have these ready to go.
it is a weak acid, it acts as solvent (dissolves the lime scale).
Citric acid breaks down the calcium carbonate in limescale through a process called chelation. The acid binds to the calcium ions, which loosens the bonds holding the scale together, making it easier to dissolve and remove.
Vinegar's acidity helps to dissolve the mineral deposits that make up scale, breaking them down and making them easier to wipe away. The acetic acid in vinegar reacts with the minerals in the scale, causing them to loosen and detach from the surface.
As limescale is a weak alkaline therefor to neutralise and cancel out you need to clean it with a weak acid.
use lime scale destroyer which use water tech to remove the scale permanently as long as the device is used.The device will recondition the water solubility so that it will have ability to dissolve the lime scale(mineral, either calcium or magnesium) and prevent scale from forming again.
Formic acid is in ant venom. It is used to clean lime scale in toliets. If it is concentrated, it can hurt skin. It is only very mildly toxic.
If you want to know what lime water is, it's 10 on the pH scale, i.e. a weak acid, verging on the edge of strong.
A lime is a fruit. They contain citric acid, which is an acid.
Lime is a type of citrus fruit and as such, contains citric acid.
