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.Sunday, November 30, 2014

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 (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!

Aluminum Chloride Antiperspirant
Maxie, Kori
I will be discussing aluminum chloride (AlCl3). It is a ternary ionic compound. Aluminum chloride is widely used in many circumstances. It is often used as a sweat antiperspirant for excessive sweating. It does its job by clogging pores and blocking away sweat, and eliminating odors. Aluminum chloride can also be seen in the petroleum refining and the production of many products. Aluminum chloride can only be used on skin, and is dangerous if it gets in your eyes.http://www.sweathelp.org/en/treatments-hcp/topical-treatments/aluminum-chloride.html

Acetic Acid- The formula is CH3COOH. This is an acid since it is known to contain hydrogen atoms.
Acetic acid is used to produce many products. The food industry, textile industry, and the preparation for inks and dyes are some uses that comes from acetic acid. The acetic acid in vinegar is produced by the fermentation (chemical breakdown of a substance) of ethanol (alcohol) by bacteria. Vinegar is used mainly in cooking ingredients since its known to be a mild acid. Throughout the years, acetic acid has been used in other ways that include industrial or even medical uses.Without this acid, many things people use in their everyday lives, would have not come to an accessible point of all mankind's encounters.

Lighting Up Fireworks
Sophia Nicholaou
Barium Oxide - BaO is a binary compound because it contains two elements.
We see this compound every year the 4th of July. This compound is what makes up the color blazing white in fireworks. They usually require oxygen to fuel the fire created and in order to bind it. How this process works is when a metal is heated up different color frequencies are hit producing that color. To produce this color white - hot metals, such as magnesium and aluminum, are used. Creating fireworks is very complex and requires physical science. Incandescence and luminescence are used in the color production. Incandescence is the light produced from heat. Luminescence is light produced using a different energy source other than heat.

Phosphoric acid
Labe, Katie
Phosphoric acid formula is H₃PO₄ and used in everyday life.
It is a very controversial acid because it can lead to many health problems. Phosphoric acid is put in carbonated soft drinks, mostly coke. It gives the pop the sour taste that everyone loves. Phosphoric acid is also used in the removal of rust. It turns the rusted iron into a black ferric phosphate that eventually will rub off. It is even used in the medical field. Before putting on braces orthodontists use phosphoric acid to help them clean and roughen up the surface. Dentists unite zinc powder and phosphoric acid to make a substance that creates a impermanent cement like surface on the teeth.

H2CO3
H2CO3 is Carbonic acid. If you could not tell this is an acid. Carbonic acid is described as volatile or a respiratory acid. Carbonic acid is used in your daily life. This is a mixture of water and carbon dioxide (CO2 + H2O = H2CO3). You can also find carbonic acid in carbonated water or any other carbonated drinks. This is a "weak" acid and it can form two different kids of salts, carbonates and bicarbonates.

Hydrochloric Acid- HCl
Hydrochloric Acid is a clear, colorless, acid. Like other acid, when dissolved in water, it produces Hydrogen ions. In an aqueous Hydrochloric acid, the H+ joins a water molecule to form a Hydronium ion, otherwise known as H3O+. Hydrochloric Acid, unlike others, is highly corrosive, and is very strong; contributing to many uses. Hydrochloric Acid actually can be used in small applications as well. Although it is poisonous, it can be used to remove stubborn rust stains, cleaning floors, production of some foods, descaling, leather processing and believe it or not, in digestion! This acid actually contributes to the proper digestion, absorption, and utilization of foods, to nourish cells, tissues and organs. However, levels of this actually decreases as we age. Thus, Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) contributes to many worldly applications.References

Phosphoric Acid - H3PO4
Phosphoric Acid has a very wide range of uses from being a rust inhibitor to being a food additive. Phosphoric acid is colorless, odorless, and non-volatile which are three traits that are very common within acids. Most of the acid is a syrupy liquid but is still pourable, since it is a concentrated acid it can also be corrosive. Phosphoric acid is used as an acidifying agent which gives colas their tangy flavor.

Nitrous Acid-HNO
Nitrous acid is a weak and monobasic acid acid known only in the solution and in the form of nitrate salts. It is used to make diazides from amines. The diazide can be liberated to give a carbene or carbenoid. Nitrous acids only exist in aqueous solutions which is why it is very unstable. It is found in many salt solutions and is used in everyday life.

Carbonic Acid is used everyday, most particularly in carbonated drinks, like coke. It has a PH level between 3 and 4, so it is slightly acidic. It is made when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water (H2O+CO2=H2CO3) It is also used as a buffer for our blood by maintaining constant PH level, the body creates carbonic acid to help transport carbon dioxide outside of the body.

Calcium chloride- The formula is CaCl2. This is a Binary Ionic compound since it is made of two elements.
This is used quite often in our everyday lives. It is used in rock salt, along with other salts. It melts ice and snow to avoid accidents when traveling may be dangerous. The way it works is by lowering the freezing point of water so that instead of being ice at 0 Celcius, it will remain liquid until -15 Celcius.
