Warning
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a corrosive and toxic acid that can cause serious burns and even death. Poisoning can occur readily through exposure of skin or eyes, or when inhaled or swallowed. Symptoms of exposure to hydrofluoric acid may not be immediately evident, and this can provide false reassurance to victims, causing them to delay medical treatment.Despite having an irritating odour, HF may reach dangerous levels without an obvious odour r. HF interferes with nerve function, meaning that burns may not initially be painful. Accidental exposures can go unnoticed, delaying treatment and increasing the extent and seriousness of the injury. Symptoms of HF exposure include irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, and throat, eye and skin burns, rhinitis, bronchitis, pulmonary edema and bone damage

You know, watching you dissolve the wrapping instead of doing it normal, tells me you are the reason we nerds get the image we do!
Bro you’re amazing wow I just learned so much.
How long did it take to corrode the glass slide?
How about Hydrogen peroxide 35 percent carefully to HF would that work?
Nice video you absolute madlad! Also how/where did you buy the HF??

Edit: 2-3 molar HF can be bought on ebay and shipped internationally under the name "winks rust stain remover"
Glad to see that you use the proper PPE for this reaction. Where do you get your HF?

Does HF plus nitric acid work comparably to aqua regia?

I'm going to guess not. 2 reasons: HF would probably oxidize nitric acid first, and also, fluorine doesn't form oxoions.

No, hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid so combining it with nitric acid wouldn’t result in something that can dissolve gold
Good morning. Is hydrofluoric acid the acid of baths, and does it have an effect on other minerals? Thank you

Shit, should I be more scared of HF? I use it literally every day for work. I'm careful, but damn this guy appears to know quite a bit about chemistry and even he seems to be scared of that particular acid.

@@AussieChemist Some guys choose to wear the minimum, but the fumes can smell quite a bit, so I'm all about the supplied air hood. The recent exposures actually caused management to mildly increase mandated PPE. I stand under the shower with the rain suit on when dealing with the bath, but there must be trace amounts of acid that remain, right? I try to avoid touching the exterior of my PPE as much as possible. There are stories about how it used to be done and I can tell you that no amount of money could make me take that sort of risk. We usually have 20 or 50 percent concentration, depending of application. Any more requires robots, though I have never been to the place where they do that.
