Most acidic Substance in the world-Most acidic compound




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 !!!

Types of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry

Intermediate is an unstable compound formed during a chemical reaction . This intermediate is very unstable and get converted  into product as soon as it forms . Reaction intermediate forms in one step of a chemical reaction and get converted into product in the next step .  There are basically four types of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry ◆Carbocation ◆carbanion ◆free radical ◆carbene Carbocation Carbocation is an intermediate in which  carbon atom carries a positive charge . Carbocation is obtained during heterolytic fission.  Heterolytic fission is defined as break down of covalent bond in such a way that more electronegative atom attract  both the electrons . Carbocation is formed when more electronegative atom is directly attached to carbon atom during fission . Carbocations are sp2 hybridized having trigonal planar geometry Stability of carbocation depends on how easily electron density of carbocation can be increased . More the electron donating or releasing  groups

Why Solids are rigid and incompressible ?

Matter is anything that has a mass and occupy space . Ice  , pen , pencil ,dog , etc are examples of matter because they have some mass and they occupy space . There are basically three states of matter , ●Solid  ●Liquid ●Gas Solid   Solid is defined as rigid and incompressible state of matter .  Now the question is , why Solids are rigid and incompressible ? To answer this question , let's understand the properties of solids .  1.Solids have large intermolecular force of attraction . Intermolecular force is the force of attraction between to adjacent Molecules .  Higher the intermolecular force , more tightly they will attract each other and less movement of Molecules will occur . 2.Intermolecular distance in Solid is very less . Intermolecular distance is the distance between two adjacent molecules . Less the distance more will the intermolecular force of attraction . Intermolecular force is inversely proportional to intermolecular distance . 3.They have definite shap
