Is HF the Strongest Acid?

Image
 HF or hydrofluoric acid is not strong, but it can corrode glass. In water HF dissociates into H+ and F- ions. H+ is very small and sneaky, and can react very quickly. That's what makes acids so violent. Video 1 - Sulfuric acid vs a stainless steel spoon https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HoX0IHIP3HssHC_en9avXJLZn0bePv9R/view?usp=drive_link ___________________________________________________________________ Acid are quickly reacting chemicals, however they are not that quick as shown on some fake videos. The spoon here is made of gallium, which is a more reactive metal Video 2 - Strong acid vs highly reactive gallium spoon/ fake spoon https://drive.google.com/file/d/18vBR-auexfU5KyoMXQ7s7xlUKi2BS4lN/view?usp=drive_link ____________________________________________________________________________ HF has the pKa of approximately 3. It is not that strong. But it is very toxic, so do not touch it anyways! However, the other part, the F- , is very agressive, and it can destroy glass! On t...

Clam Anatomy - Do Shellfish Have Brain? 🐚🧠🔬

Image
 Shellfish includes clams, mussels, scallops, etc. They all have no brain, but their nervous system is decentralized and is located in many organs. These neurons in each organ are called ganglia. Even though shellfish has no brain, thy have other organs, like stomach heart intestine nephron/ kidneys Let's see a video of a dissection of a dead clam. Dissection is when someone opens a dead organism and cuts it into separate organs. Let's look what's inside a shell! It is not just a uniform mess. There are separate organs with their functions. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UwvKPVV27Ta5-oU_MG-F6oZDognanOVt?usp=drive_link

Engineering - Water Dam Catastrophe

Image
 This happened in Italy in the mountains in 1963. https://maps.app.goo.gl/3AMo1ovDLnweJMZq5 In the Alps there is a village called Vajont , where a huge dam was built in 1960 and it was 260 m tal l. It was generating 200 MW of electricity continuously. It's enough to power 2 million 100 W light bulbs.  After the disaster water destroyed a few villages. But the dam was left standing there. How did water get through the dam without destroying it? Watch skipping through the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nL0H1thTZohpK-MQdJSCfj6K5lOzEExt/view?usp=drive_link Answer questions 1.
