And in that mixture, sulfuric acid catalyzes chemical reactions between water and the bonds that hold peptides together. Take away either the water or the acid, and those reactions can't happen ...

Peter Ward, in 1862, proposed a series of glass sheets to increase the surface and hasten the reaction ; that, however, had beenused before, and as the formation of sulphuric acid is not dependent ...

And the reaction always produces two things - water ... Nitric becomes nitrate, hydrochloric acid becomes a chloride and sulphuric acid becomes a sulphate. Katie: Oh go on then.

Some metals react with acids and when they do the products ... Calcium plus hydrochloric acid gives us calcium chloride. And zinc plus sulphuric acid gives us zinc sulfate. And the salt that ...

the sulfuric acid will soak into the paper, reaching the large compartment with the potassium chlorate and sugar mixture, causing a strongly exothermic reaction that ignites the paper. Yet as ...
