Nitric Acid Nitric acids was one of the first acids known. Many alchemists long ago used it to do experiments. Nitric acid is a very strong oxidizing agent, it can dissolve (melt) metals. But it can’t melt down jewelry that is made out of gold and platinum. Nitric acid has no color, it is yellow when you put it in a bottle that is not tightened. Nitric acid can cause burns on skin, when it stains, the color yellow is on the skin. Nitric acid can form fertilizers, explosives.
Hydrochloric Acid hydrochloric acid is a colorless liquid. Hydrochloric acid is very dangerous, it rusts metals slowly with chemical reaction. It can cause serious burns. You can eat hydrochloric acid because it is sometimes needed in food processing. In some peoples stomach, they have hydrochloric acid which can help their digestion. When a person has too much hydrochloric acid, they will be sick and causes stomach ulcers.
Sulfuric Acid Sulfuric acid has no color, it is an oily liquid that is super corrosive. Sulfuric acid is one of the strongest acids, It can burn skins, and irritate in the nose, then go in the trachea to the lungs, it is bad for your health. Sulfuric acid has a lot of uses, for example, some workers use them for automobile, batteries, explosives, and iron. don’t ever try to mix Sulfuric acid and water, when you mix it together, the temperature will be boiling hot. later the water will be shooting everywhere
Phosphoric Acid And Citric Acid Citric acid can burn up to 153 Phosphoric acid can help metal stay away from corrosion. phosphoric acid can make fertilizers, soft drink, and flavoring syrups. The other name for Phosphoric acid is orthophosphoric acid
Degrees. Citric acid has a good side, Citric acid gives some fruits like lemon, oranges, and other fruits their sour taste.
