Uses of mineral acid in industries |
|
Answer» Mineral acid some example H2SO4(sulphuric acid),HCl(hydrocloric acid),HNo3(nitric acid) and now uses...H2So4=it used to make other chemicals,reduce corrosion,refine oil and creat fertilizers.....HNo3=it used to make explosive,dyes and fertilizers...HCl=is used in laboretry in all over , is used to make PVC,food products and extract metals Commonly used mineral acids are\xa0sulfuric acid,\xa0hydrochloric acid\xa0and\xa0nitric acid\xa0(they are also known as bench acids). Mineral acids range from\xa0superacids(perchloric acid) to very weak (boric acid). Mineral acids tend to be very soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents.Mineral acids are used in many sectors of the chemical industry as feedstocks for the synthesis of other chemicals, both organic and inorganic. Large quantities of these acids – especially sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid – are manufactured for commercial use in large plants.Mineral acids are also used directly for their corrosive properties. For example, a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is used for removing the deposits from the inside of boilers, with precautions taken to prevent the corrosion of the boiler by the acid. This process is known as descaling. |
