Sulfuric acid, H 2 SO 4, is a colourless and odourless oily liquid that is highly hygroscopic. Dissolving sulfur trioxide, SO 3, in concentrated sulfuric acid results in a fuming solution called oleum ...

Etching is a method employed during the fabrication of semiconductors to chemically remove layers from the surface of the wafer substrate. Etching is a crucial process, and each wafer is subject to ...

Finding extraterrestrial life in any form would be truly one of the largest discoveries in humankind’s history, yet after decades of scouring the surface of Mars and investigating other bodies like ...

If you paid attention in chemistry class, you'd know not to mess around with sulfuric acid. Even at a fairly dilute concentration, it's about ten times more acidic than the contents of your stomach.

The Danakil Depression in northwest Ethiopia has the sulfuric acid-richest environments on Earth. One of the big questions in astrobiology is whether life can use solvents other than water to ...

THE chief merit of these two small volumes is that they are written by practical men who possess a ripe and successful experience of sulphuric acid manufacture. For this reason they will be read and ...

When you dilute sulfuric acid with water, you get battery acid. That’s what Metro Detroit community of New Baltimore nearly created in its water supply accidentally last month, due to a labeling ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a method that can reduce the levels of mercury in sulfuric acid by more than 90%—even from low levels. Sulfuric acid is ...
