AI Thread Summary
Sulfuric acid is known to be highly corrosive, but certain materials are resistant to its effects. Fluoropolymers are highlighted as one such material that does not react with sulfuric acid. Additionally, aluminum is noted for its surprising resistance to sulfuric acid, despite common expectations. A resource link provided in the discussion offers further information on materials and gloves that are safe to use with sulfuric acid, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate materials in chemical handling.

An important question!

Hi everyone. I had an important question:
Can anyone teel me the materials (except glass!) that Sulphuric acid does not affect them.
Please help me!
Thanks.

Thanks Guybrush;
The link was very useful!
 
aswell as other polar substances
 
I know that aluminum doesn't react with H2SO4, which I found rather surprising...
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
