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.

I know that aluminum doesn't react with H2SO4, which I found rather surprising...
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

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!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
