Powdered Acid Cleaner

Acid Cleaners are used with extreme caution. Bowl cleaners are generally acidic in nature, and are available in powder, preferred solid block or liquid form. The function of toilet cleaners is to remove effectively fecal soils, lime and rust deposits, and urinary calculus from commodes and urinals. 

Potassium biduoride crystals may break down to a fine white powder that is readily airborne. In this form, the salt is quite irritating to the nasal passages, eyes, and skin. Therefore, the hands and eyes should be protected and acid dust masks should be worn while handling, as an acid duoride KHF2 can cause superficial hydroduoric acid-type bums. Areas of skin that have been in contact with potassium biduoride should be washed as soon as possible with mildly alkaline soaps or borax-containing hand cleaners. If there has been contact with the eyes, they should be washed well with water and a physician should be consulted. 

Seawater Distillation. The principal thermal processes used to recover drinking water from seawater include multistage flash distillation, multi-effect distillation, and vapor compression distillation. In these processes, seawater is heated, and the relatively pure distillate is collected. Scale deposits, usually calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium sulfate, lessen efficiency of these units. Dispersants such as poly(maleic acid) (39,40) inhibit scale formation, or at least modify it to form an easily removed powder, thus maintaining cleaner, more efficient heat-transfer surfaces. 

Among the product bases whose pH usually lies outside the neutral range are acid and alkaline household cleaners cold wave lotions, hair straighteners, and depilatories (alkaline, pH > 10) and antiperspirants (acid, pH < 5). Fabric softeners are acidic, with pH values between 3 and 5. Machine dishwashing detergent powders are alkaline and contain perborates, which are oxidizing agents. 

Procedure Place a little amount of calcium carbonate powder in the beaker and cover with a few ml of hydrochloric add. After a short while, insert a burning candle into the beaker. After reaction is over, evaporate the remaining solution. Repeat the reaction with limestone deposit removers (acidic household cleaners) check the type of acid from its label and interpret the information.

For military and gun applications black powder continued to be the only explosive of choice as a propellant or bursting charge until the inventions of the late 1800s, when smokeless powder, based on nitrocellulose, proved to be a cleaner, safer, and more effective propellant than black powder. The synthesis of picric acid (2,4,6-trinitrophenol) followed...
