Which is the most acidic compound or Substance ? This question is difficult to answer because for this we have to find the acidic strength of all the compounds which are found or exist in nature..But don't worry , we have answer for this question..
First understand which compound is called as acid
Acid are those compound which can easily donate their H+ ion , easily accept an electron pair and show high resonance stabilization .
All this points have to consider while determine the acidic strength of a compound.
After considering all this factors , it has been found that the most acidic compound is Fluoroantimonic Acid . It's also considered as a Super Acid .
Super Acids are acids with acidic strength or acidity greater than 100% pure sulphuric acid
Fluoroantimonic Acid is an inorganic compound having Chemical formula H2SbF7.It is prepared by reacting Hydrogen Fluoride(HF)and antimony pentachloride(SbF5) in 2 : 1 ratio .
It is 10 quadrillion times more acidic than sulphuric acid (H2SO4-also called as king of Chemistry).
First of all understand that pH of sulphuric acid is about 1 and pH value of Fluoroantimonic Acid is -31 . This acid can burn your skin and can cause serious damage . Then what about a Chemical(Fluoroantimonic Acid) which is 10 quadrillion times stronger acidic than sulphuric acid . I can't imagine the pain when this superacid accidentally fell on someone's skin..
Almost nothing can store this Chemical because it's highly reactive and corrosive in nature . The only Substance in which it can be placed safely is Teflon also called as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) .
Being more corrosive , toxic and dangerous super acid , Fluoroantimonic Acid is mostly used to convert any hydrocarbon to carbonation .
So , these are some interesting facts about most acidic compound in the world . If still have any suggestions and doubts then please , comment .
Thanks !!!
