most corrosive liquid/gas come one come all to share your opinions

Featured Replies

my friends dad who works at a hazardous waste plant had tfound this liquid of that i dotn know tghe use for but would dissolve almost anything it was a concentrated sulfuric acid with superionized metal like H2SO4 andCr+8

 

lets play pick your corrosive!

I imagine that liquid sodium would be pretty rad.

he means somthing that can burn a hole through metal or just about anything...

 

battery acid:)

Aqua regia is one of the most powerful dissolving agents. It can dissolve very unreactive metals like gold and platinum.

the question is basically pointless because it depends on what substance you are corroding.

 

liquid CsOH corrodes glass. liquid F2O2 does so faster

 

liquid HF corrodes glass. liquid HSbF6 does so faster

 

aqua regia (NOCl in HCl/HNO3) oxidizes "inert" metals. NOF does so faster.

 

liquid Cs is hellishly reactive and will reduce things.

 

liquid CsAlH4 is one of the strongest reducing agents in existence, but not so strong as LiAlH4

 

liquid F2 is hellishly reactive and will oxidize things, but not as quickly as F2O and F2O2

 

F radicals are even more hellishly reactive than F2 and possibly more so than F2O and F2O2

if your going on terms of things just being reactive, then id say F.

Yup, pure fluorine gas is so corrosive that it reacts with almost anything including boro silicate glass, which means that it is impossible to store in its elemental state. Contact with the gas would give you a fourth degree burn and maybe even kill you.
