Sulphuric and ethanoic acid
Sulphuric and ethanoic acid. Comparison of a strong and a weak acid. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is an important industrial chemical. It is used in petroleum refining and paint and fertiliser production. It is also a dehydrating and oxidising agent. Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) is also known as acetic acid and is present in vinegar. It is a far weaker acid. It is used in the manufacture of dyes and plastics and as a food additive (E260)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast between two powerful acids - sulphuric acid and ethanoic acid. Sulphuric acid, denoted as H2SO4, holds immense significance in various industrial processes. Its versatility is evident as it finds applications in petroleum refining, paint production, and fertiliser manufacturing. Additionally, this potent compound acts as a dehydrating and oxidising agent. On the other hand, we have ethanoic acid (CH3COOH), commonly known as acetic acid or vinegar. While it may lack the strength of its counterpart, it still plays a vital role in several domains. Ethanoic acid serves as an essential component in dye synthesis and plastic production. Moreover, it can be found on our kitchen shelves as a food additive with code E260. The mesmerizing image captures these two acids side by side within a laboratory setting. It symbolizes the intricate world of chemistry where substances with distinct properties coexist to shape our daily lives. This remarkable photograph belongs to Science Photo Library – an esteemed repository of scientific imagery that allows us to delve into the fascinating realm of chemical reactions and their practical implications. Let this visual masterpiece serve as a reminder of how science constantly surrounds us, influencing everything from industry to household products without us even realizing it!
