amb's latest · 2026-11-05★Super niche acid that you never see used anywhere, largely because all of the other strong acids does everything it can do better. Need a generic acid? Just use HCl. Need a strong reducing agent? Get your hands on HI. Insane middle child syndrome
- Hydroiodic acid
amb's latest · 2026-11-05★★The I- ion is an extremely powerful reducing agent that can split ether bonds and remove oxygen from almost anything. Unfortunately, it’s also a massive red flag chemical of making meth.
- Nitric acid
amb's latest · 2026-11-05★★★★Not only is it a strong acid, but it’s also a ridiculously powerful oxidizing agent, which allows it to perform a host of cool tasks, such as burning away most nonmetals in a flash by oxidizing them, it can fucking bring *gold* into solution when mixed with HCl, it just does so much. Also makes explosives. Legend of the sport
- Perchloric acid
amb's latest · 2026-11-05★★★In theory, it’s really great, in practice, it really really likes to explode. Use 70% or less if you must. Very alluring but you can’t fall for it
