Re: Gentle Acid, But strong but can they aid - The space exploration vision?
Strong, Yet Gentle, Acid Uncovered
Carborane, part of the world's strongest acid.
Atom color code:
orange = boron, gray = carbon,
green = chlorine, white = hydrogen.
Great article of different aspect of acids in general.
Can acids aid those first explorers in doing science on the moon or on mars?
Can they be used to help in the mining and processing operations for not only separating but also for the releasing of locked in oxygen molecules in the soils of either?
