Top strongest acids ever -PART 2



From this point, acids are called "Super Acids". Since they can't be measured directly, they will be measured  on the Hammett Acidity Scale (H0).

Chlorosulphuric Acid:-

It is 8,800,000 times stronger than Hydrochloric Acid. First Superacid on this acid it is a beast(-12.78H0).It reacts violently with Water.It yields Sulphuric Acid and Hydrogen Chlorine in the process. Basically it turns into less powerful acid. In this process it also releases acidic fumes.

Perchloric Acid:-

It is 2.2 times stronger than Chlorosulphuric acid. Perchloric acid is a component in rocket fuel. Outside of that, it is commonly use din industrial purposes, and for a good reason perchloric acid is highly toxic, and when it's in crystal form, it can explode. Inhalation of its fumes can result in brain or lung damage and death (About -13H0).

Trifilic Acid:-

It is 100 times stronger than perchloric acid. Trifilic acid is 1,000 times stronger than pure Sulphuric acid making it one of the strongest acids ever (H0 is -15).This acid is extremely corrosive, contact with skin causes severe burns.On inhalation it causes fatal spasms.

Carborane acids:-

It is 1000 times than Trifilic acid. Another crazy powerful acid. Even though it takes such high place in the list. It differs from other superacids. It doesn't produce further side reactions and it is considered to be a "Gentle Acid". The synthesis of Carborane acids remains lengthy and difficult process(H0 number is -18).

Magic Acid:-

It is 1,00,000 times stronger than Carborane acid. In the 1960s, James B.Conant decided to combine two acids into one. He found that the mixture becomes several more acidic. It can result in serious injury and even deaths(H0 number is -23).

Fluoroantimonic Acid:-

It is 1,00,000 times stronger than magic acid. Fluoroantimonic acid is recognised as the strongest acids in the world. It has -28H0. Sadly there is no footage around.But to understand how ridiculous it is,we have to see the previous Chlorosulphuric acid. However it is 100,000,000,000,000 times less  powerful than fluoroantimonic acid. The acid reacts violently (explodes) with water and even reacts violently with moisture in the Air. It can eat through anything except for one material-Teflon. Fluoroantimonic acid is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times stronger than uric acid.

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on Instagram  LAB IN THE BOX MELANOMA What is Melanoma? Melanoma is a form of skin cancer arising from melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. While it is less common than other skin cancers, it is significantly more dangerous due to its ability to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body if not caught early. Causes and Risk Factors The primary cause of melanoma is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. Factors that increase the risk of melanoma include: - Fair Skin : Less melanin provides less protection from UV radiation. - History of Sunburns : Severe, blistering sunburns, especially in early life, increase risk. - Excessive UV Exposure : Frequent use of tanning beds or extensive sun exposure. - Family History : A family history of melanoma increases risk. - Moles : Having many moles or unusual moles can be a risk factor. - Weakened Immune System : Immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk.

Warmer climate may Drive Fungi to be more dangerous to our Health!!

  Warmer climate may Drive Fungi to be more dangerous to our Health!! The world is filled with tiny creatures that sometimes found it delicious. Bacteria and viruses are so obvious that they are pathogenic . However recent news from Duke University School of medicine found that raised temperature  cause a pathogenic fungus known as Cryptococcus deneoformans to turn its adaptative responses into overdrive. This increases its number of genetic changes, some of which might presumably lead to higher heat resistance, and others perhaps toward greater disease-causing potential . " Fungal diseases are on the rise, largely because of an increase in the number of people who have weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions," Gusa said. But at the same time, pathogenic fungi may be adapting to warmer temperatures as well. Materials  provided by  Duke University .

History of Biotechnology

HISTORY OF BIOTECHNOLOGY: People have been harnessing biological processes to improve their quality of life for some 10,000 years, beginning with the first agricultural communities. Approximately 6,000 years ago, humans began to tap the biological processes of microorganisms in order to make bread, alcoholic beverages, and cheese and to preserve dairy products. But such processes are not what is meant today by biotechnology, a term first widely applied to the molecular and cellular technologies that began to emerge in the 1960s and ’70s. A fledgling “biotech” industry began to coalesce in the mid- to late 1970s, led by Genentech, a pharmaceutical company established in 1976 by Robert A. Swanson and Herbert W. Boyer to commercialize the recombinant DNA technology pioneered by Boyer, Paul Berg, and Stanley N. Cohen. Early companies such as Genentech, Amgen, Biogen, Cetus, and Genex began by manufacturing genetically engineered substances primarily for medical and environmental uses. For
