How does sulfamic acid remove lime scale?

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.


What is the relationship between the name of the acid and the name of the anion that forms it?

If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ic" with "ate". If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ous" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ous" with "ite." If the name of acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid does not contain oxygen, the name of the anion formed by the acid changes "ic" to "ide", and if the name of the acid begin with "hydro", these letters are deleted from the name of the anion.


Is salt an ionic compound composed of an anion from an acid?

Yes salt is formed from ionic bonding of a cation and an anion.


An acid ending with the suffix -ic produces an anion with?

the suffix -ate. chlorate -> chloric acid; carbonate -> carbonic acid


What is name of anion for chlorous acid?

The anion for chlorous acid is chlorite, which has the chemical formula ClO₂⁻. Chlorous acid itself is represented as HClO₂, and when it donates a proton (H⁺), it forms the chlorite ion.

What covalent bonds in sulfamic acid and water must have been broken to form this anion?

The covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom in sulfamic acid must have been broken to form its anion. In water, the covalent bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms must also have been broken to form the hydronium ion.

Is sulfamic acid organic acid?

Sulfamic acid is classified as an inorganic acid because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds that are characteristic of organic compounds. It is a derivative of sulfuric acid but is considered inorganic due to its chemical structure.

What is the result of a chemical reaction with sulfamic acid and calcium carbonate?

The reaction between sulfamic acid and calcium carbonate produces calcium sulfamate, water, and carbon dioxide. This is a double displacement reaction where the carbonate ion in calcium carbonate exchanges places with the sulfate ion in sulfamic acid.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of acetic acid citric acid and sulfamic acid to descale And can you give sources please?

The advantages of sulfamic acid is it won't ruin anything you are descaling as opposed to acetic acid, which evaporates what you are descaling. On the other hand citric acid is weaker than the other two.


Can you use sulfamic acid to clean lime and scale deposits off your slate tiles?

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.


What is sulfamic acid?

Sulfamic acid is a compound with the chemical formula H3NSO3. It is a white crystalline solid and is used in various industrial applications such as descaling metals, cleaning of boiler systems, and in the formulation of household cleaners. It is also known for its ability to remove rust and limescale.


How does sulfamic acid remove limescale?

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.
