Question

Which is more dangerous: Sulphuric acid or Hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

1. Acids are formed by donating protons or Hydrogen ions into the solution.
2. Acids are naturally corrosive and possess excellent conductivity.
3. They are sour in taste and the pH of acids are lower than $7$.
4. Sulphuric acid and Hydrochloric acids are examples of strong acids.
5. Sulphuric acid are also known as oil of vitriol, and is a mineral acid with a chemical formula ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$.
6. Sulphuric acid is powerful oxidizing agent.
7. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that can be dissolved in water at all concentrations.
8. Hydrochloric acids are the aqueous solution of Hydrogen and Chlorine, with the chemical formula $\mathrm{HCl}$.
9. It has pungent odor and also present in many gastric juices of animals including human beings.
10. Hydrochloric acid is generally used in laboratories.
11. The acid ionization value of Hydrochloric acid is much higher equal to $1.3\times {10}^6$ on the other hand for Sulphuric acid it is equal to$1\times {10}^3$
12. Hence, Hydrochloric acid is most hazardous compared with Sulphuric acid.
