HF is nasty, don't try this at home. Early 'fake jade' workers use HF to turn low cost jade stone to better stone by removing its defect colors.

[@tobiassiagian2562]

@@lpjunction i dont think you have to say this but thanks anyway

[@Slammy555]

We used HF in one of the production lines, all of the guys I met who worked on the line had some exposure. The cure is to inject calcium gluconate under the skin at the point of exposure multiple times. If you ever walked under the reactors you didn't look up you looked for holes in the floor to see where there was leaking. As an undergrad I worked at an incinerator, we received some barrels from the EPA that were mislabeled on the manifest. The sampler thought it was a pretty safe and routine chemical and sampled it without the full suit. He didn't notice the exposure right away, but said it itched when he got home. It progressed to actual pain, they had to amputate the thumb for an exposure so small he didn't notice it. BB is frustrating for someone with chemistry knowledge to watch, you have to treat it as a fantasy series. I played a game called the many deaths of Jessie where I'd count the number of times he should have died from how he handled the chemicals. The first I saw was when he was pouring HF from a jug into a container and it was splashing everywhere early in season 1. There were many deaths in that, especially once they upscaled the process and they were sticking their heads into and even climbing into the reactors.

[@CraigPater]

Even if a person exposed to HF receives immediate emergency medical attention and intensive supportive medical care with calcium gluconate that does not guarantee that the patient will survive HF exposure some patients who survive the initial HF exposure still end up dying up to two weeks after the initial exposure

I was told that HF reacts with Ca2+ Ions to CaF2, that are needed for information transition in the nervous system at the end of a neuron. I did work in a lab, where ~30% HF was filled in buckets. The safety sheet said that previously it was assumed that at least 30% of the skin surface need to be touched for it to be lethal, but latest reports have shown lethal accidents as low as 5-10% skin surface. People working there longer said, that each worker would have an accident within 6 years with an average stay of 4-6 weeks in the hospital. The acid is not strong - it is so small that it can diffuse through the skin. One worker told me he had an accident in the morning and noticed the black spot in the evening, because it did not hurt.

[@billylenihan7737]

[@MrQuest0]

So hydrogen ions just weaken bonds in the chicken leg's molecules so fluorine can be bound with them?

[@WhyPhi]

The bond between hydrogen and fluorine is weak compared to the bonds fluorine wants to make with other atoms such as carbon. In water, HF undergoes rapid equilibrium where HF+H2OH3O+ + F- To my understanding: If just about any organic molecule gets near the fluoride in solution,, it will attack and form a sigma bond (single bond) which would be highly favored over the H-F rapid equilibrium state.

[@MrQuest0]

Thanks a lot for explanation :)

[@thisiskurt]

Why doesnt F- in NaF fluorinate carbon also? NaF is water-soluble yielding an abundance of F- ions in our bodies every time we drink water.

[@benjamingresick6108]

"It really doesn't want to dance but to bond for life." Too clingy.

[@gustopher6500]

In high school I was taught that the tiny amounts of H+ in dissolved HF went into skin with ease together with F- and that the F- would react with calcium creating a useless salt in your tissue that isn't really harmful but because of chemical balance more and more H+ would go into your skin biting away at your flesh and also causing heart issues since the calcium levels in your body would keep going down and possibly cause a heart attack

If you read the health and safety at the start of a car mechanic manual. It says o rubber o rings and seals on old cars can produce hydroflouric if burnt to a high temperature. Sometimes amputation is the only solution to stop it eating away more of your infected part.. 🍀

[@geniusmp2001]

From Wikipedia: "Owing to its low acid dissociation constant, HF as a neutral lipid-soluble molecule penetrates tissue more rapidly than typical mineral acids." This seems consistent with your explanation, and with the results of the experiment. What makes HF so dangerous is not that it will instantly melt your face off, but that it gets absorbed into your tissues without initially being noticeable. Again from Wikipedia: "In the body, hydrofluoric acid reacts with the ubiquitous biologically important ions Ca2+ and Mg2+. Formation of insoluble calcium fluoride is proposed as the etiology for both precipitous fall in serum calcium and the severe pain associated with tissue toxicity." Stronger acids dissolve you on the surface. HF silently eats you from the inside out.

Not neccesarily, it depends on its strength.. although you'll never get the James Bond situation where someone falls in a tank of acid and dissolves immediately, there are numerous examples of attacks where blindness and burns happen within a matter of minutes. That's why if you get acid on you, or are attacked with an unknown substance, its essential to immediately rinse yourself with water as much as possible.

[@dmgdisciple9680]

Reaction speeds will differ with molarity which is simply the concentration of the chemical per liter. They used weaker concentrations to ensure safety since these acids will emit strong toxic fumes at higher molarities and overall isnt very fun to work around or clean up after the fact.

+Wolf The main point of this experiment was to see the flesh-eating properties of the acids and to figure out if a specific element caused acid to eat away flesh. The specific molarities of each acid doesn't really matter in this experiment as long as all three acids had the same molarity. As for the effect differing by concentration, well, the only observable difference would be faster reactions. Of course, I assume they didn't want to increase the concentration due to safety reasons, even if they did have to let it sit overnight.

[@RFC3514]

RBuckminsterFuller No living organism reacts well to being in a car crash, either, but that doesn't mean driver safety tests should be done with ants or crocodiles. If the idea is to simulate what would happen to a human, then you'll want something as close to human flesh as possible, and (assuming primates are not an option) pig is generally considered the best analogue. But they did pick the "best" part of the chicken; the muscle in chickens' legs is more similar to human flesh than the muscle in chicken breast, for example (which has a lot less myoglobin).

I think the fascinating part is that it looks like how something would dissolve in a base compared to all the carbonization that happens from the reaction of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid. It's just gone, it looks like what happens when something dissolves in Lye without saponification. It's honestly kind of scary.

I don't get it.

But not old enough to spell has or you

[@Attihan]

No, I was 13 at this time.

[@williammerkel1410]

I believe this stuff is technically considered a weak acid, the strength of an acid is determined by how well it dissolves and breaks down into its components in water, not by how corrosive it is.

But why do acid victims suffer instantaneos damage?

[@Curixq]

I'm wondering how acid attacks work too. I got 20% HCl on my hands once, I thought I was going to be scarred for life, but I rinsed it off and I didn't notice anything. It's maybe because they got acid on their skin and aren't near a water source so the acid has several minutes time to seep in your skin to do its work.

[@AwesomeCrackDealer]

dude, i dont think you are supossed to wash your hands with water in case of acid

[@SINDRIKARL1]

Fuvity That is exactly what you're supposed to do. Water dilutes acids and makes them weaker. In every chemistry lab the #1 rule when you spill acid on yourself is to immediately wash it with water.

[@233kosta]

Sulphuric acid is very hydrophilic and upon contact with very high concentrations, will literally suck all the water out of your skin. At the same time it's attacking the top layer of skin cells and making its way throughout. Nasty nasty stuff. Hydroxides are worse though, the human body can be said to be somewhat acidic, so a hydroxide would do more damage faster.

Because it triggers the pain receptors (stick vinegar on a paper cut and you'll know what I mean :p)

We use HF in dentistry to etch porcelain crowns
