@Jam 1 mole of sulfuric acid is the most corrosive acid but Carborane (Ph -18) is 20 quintillion times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid but it's not as corrosive. which was what I meant.

Corrosiveness is a measure of oxidation that occurs when an acid is used. Oxidation is the loss of electrons of a substance/element. It's mainly present in metals.

Carborane would be much more corrosive than sulfuric acid due to the increased concentration of hydrogen ions (1 x 10^(18) mol dm^(-3)) in comparison to sulfuric acid when both are in their 100% forms. Not that sulfuric acid can exist as a 100% form and remain acidic of course (it must be aqueous in order to dissociate but I'm not entirely sure what the maximum concentration is).

Slick thanks for the pics!!! Between the funny pics that you found for me and the usual banter of the rest of you guys...well thanks. Feeling much better now. Aww I feel a tear coming...nope sorry...snuck out as a burp (cuse me). for all.

I do believe I am the cause of this, just for suggesting that PM'ing with "someone" (not implying anyone in particular) might cheer up Priss.

I'll stand my ground though... and if I end up taking a monkey beating, then so be it.. (maybe that'll cheer up Priss)

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have discovered the world’s strongest acid. Remarkably it is also the gentlest acid. This non-toxic and non-corrosive acid...

As far as I'm concerned, not that it matters, but an acid SHOULD be corrosive.
The more corrosive, the stronger it is, IMHO.
So a weak, barely corrosive compound... hell, WATER fits that description.

If I want a strong acid, it better be able to break down the most substances in the shortest amount of time.

and that fan is why I sustain a diet of at the very least 5 cokes a day. Corrosive factor taken into account, figure it keeps the vital organs and pipes cleared so that they can absorb the alcohol that usually accompanies the coke!

if you read the article

Acid strength is the ability of an acid to add a hydrogen ion (H ) to basic molecules. On the other hand, corrosiveness has a lot to do with the nature of the negatively charged part of an acid that always accompanies H .

Damn Spy, that was genuinely interesting and I'm more than happy to be proved wrong in matters like this when the outcome is genuinely impressive but you lose points for quoting my whole post and the obnoxious 'owned' smiley. The general etiquette is that's reserved for banter between decent enough friends, coming from you it sounds rather rude.

The way in which it acts is interesting and I'm honestly happy that you showed me up (hurray for quality!) but your manners need work.
