Silver Nitrite

Bologna, Peter
Silver Nitrite: AgNO₂
Hi! Do you know where Silver Nitrite comes from? Well by reading this blog you will learn where you can find this ternary ionic.
It is found in many oxidizing agents and is part of iodine.
It is a trace metal base too!!!

Hydrofluoric Acid

Hydrofluoric Acid (HF)

The acid I am going to write my blog about is hydrofluoric acid. It's an acute poison. The boiling point of this acid is 67.1 Fahrenheit and the melting point is -118.4 Fahrenheit. It is either a colorless gas or a fuming liquid with a strong foul odor. This acid can be absorbed through the skin or ingestion. Symptoms are irritation of eyes, nose, throat, skin burns, rhinitis, bronchitis, bone changes, cough, dizziness, headaches, nausea, shortness of breath, sore throat, vomiting, shock or collapse. This acid is corrosive and acts violently with bases. Hydrofluoric acid can cause fire and explosion. It may cause fluorosis in long term exposure. Over exposure can cause death. This gas has many uses, it is used in oil refining, organofluorine compounds, it is used in the production of high volume inorganic fluouride compounds, used as a pickling agent to remove oxides from stainless and carbon steals because of its limited ability to dissolve steal, and lastly is used for dissolving rock samples prior to analysis. Hydrofluoric acid is usually kept in plastic containers because it can dissolve metal, rock, glass, and ceramic. This acid is used multiple times in breaking bad to dissolve dead corpses.

Phosphoric Acid

Phosphoric Acid - H3PO4

Phosphoric Acid or also known as the orthophosphric acid is used for many reasons for an example this particular acid is deliberately added to soft drinks to give them a sharper flavor. This Acid also slows the growth of molds, and bacteria.  Many people believe that this acid can get quite addictive because of the tastes. The Phosphoric Acid is a colorless,odorless substance and can also be used in fertilizers, and detergents also in foods. Daily Products such as buttermilk, cottage cheese, and non-daily coffee creamers and contain the Phosphoric Acid.

Potassium Sulfate (K₂SO₄)
Ternary Ionic Compound


It is mainly used as a fertilizer for some plants. Since it does not contain chloride, which is harmful to some plants it is preferred. It is used for plants like tobacco and some other fruits and vegetables.

Hydrofluoric Acid

Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) Acid 

Hydrofluoric acid is used as a catalyst in oil refining because it is highly reactive, this process is used to make petroleum. It is also used to clean metals because it is highly corrosive. Lastly it is used to make other chemicals that contain fluorine like teflon or the non-stick surface on pans. Hydrofluoric acid is extremely toxic, when contacted with skin it creates potentially fatal burns.

Carbonic Acid

Grace, Camille


Carbonic acid is considered a weak acid compared to others. There are many day to day uses of carbonic acid, for example the most noticed one is in carbonated beverages such as Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, or Beer. The fromula for carbonic acid is H2CO3. It is a mix with water and carbon dioxide. It is found in everything from soda to rain and even to blood!

Calcium Phosphate Ca3(PO4)2
Ternary Ionic Compound

Calcium phosphate is a group of minerals made up of calcium cations and the ionic compound phosphate. Parts of our bones are made up of calcium phosphate. Cow's milk and milk products such as cheese, butter and yogurt are high in calcium phosphate. Cereals and soy products are also enriched with calcium phosphate.
