Talk:Acid attack

Andreas Christopheros
Andreas Christopheros was featured in an episode of Car SOS. He was also a victim of an acid attack. Later it turned out that the attacker (David Phillips) targetted the wrong man. He was supposed to target the person who assaulted a relative.

Treatment and consequences: neutralising with water?
In the paragraph "Treatment and consequences" it is written that water will neutralise the acid. This is utterly incorrect: water will dilute the acid. If the dilution is carried out long enough, then the solution will tend to the neutrality of the water itself, but still this isn't neutralising at all. The only way to neutralise an acid is to react it with a base. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.84.34.104 (talk) 12:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Prices of acids
I want to add a additional clarification to the claims that sulfuric acid costs $0.40/liter and nitric $1.50/liter, but want to gather any input others may have. While it seems sourced in an overview article, and is surely regional, those prices seem extraordinarily low. In the United States, nitric acid is closer to $30-60/Liter. ($30 would be considered a very "good" price.) Sulfuric is much cheaper--can be purchased for $10/L. Still significantly higher than these in the article.Jtrnp (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
