sulfuric

Edit: chapter 5 covers making sulfuric acid and then describes making nitric acid.

Would you rather be surrounded by very thin CO2 of Mars or clouds of sulfuric acid of Venus?

For all the following discussion here, I find it surprising that no one is asking why the water is tasting of sulfuric or chlorine.

Also, what sort of byproducts are going to occur as the fluoride additives and sulfuric acid corrode their containers?

If anything, the greater hazard would be the toxic and corrosive clouds of sulfuric acid that blanket the Venusian surface.

Additionally, the sulfuric acid clouds in Venus' atmosphere might be useful for various industrial processes.

Someone might argue that sulfuric acid is just a more powerful version of lemon juice.

There are clearly questions asking about how sulfuric acid is made, how glass is made, how to make paint, and so forth.

And the band that people are envisioning putting the aerosats in has, well, less sulfuric acid than does the denser lower atmosphere.

An important note: as much sulfuric pollution as all the cars in the world.

On the other hand sulfuric acid is nasty, breathing it causes long term problems.

Pardon me while I drop by the chemist's shop to pick up some fuming nitric acid, sulfuric acid and glycerin.
