Some of you know a thing or two about your professions so here’s my question. What chemicals will dissolve concrete walls? Like what chemical can I apply onto a wall that would eat a hole into it?
I would like to drill holes into my wall without disturbing my neighbors. I life in an apartment building and the wall is strong as hell
This is a baaaad idea >apply fluids >think they don't behave like fluids >get a nice "round" hole
There is a thing calde hammer drills specificaly for this task This ofcourse may take few minutes but you get a nice hole just warn your neighbors

>There is a thing calde hammer drills We have noise regulations and I have a job. I have drilled several holes in my life with hammer drills and know what I want to do.
Charles Smith
you cold use any stron acid (favorably HCl) but the holes are gona look like that bcaudio.co/garage/hole.jpg
Oliver Perry
Thanks. I knew already about salt acid and H2SO4 being used to etch concrete and what not.
I'm wondering if tehere's anything else. Maybe something that dissolved concrete really well.
Parker Murphy
I mean something that dissolves specifically concrete.
Grayson Sullivan
Anything you use will drip score the concrete rather than making a round hole, and without proper PPE you will burn yourself. Just drill the damn holes OP. Talk to your neighbors first if you are worried about bothering them.

Cooper Watson
gets this question about once a month.
Use a hand drill or bit & brace.
Jeremiah Morales
Its 5 minutes of drilling, call the renting office first then. Better than pouring hcl all over the place.
John Long
niec one
Matthew Barnes
get some hydroflouric acid. its strong because its above Cl on the periodic tableau
Sebastian Morales
Wrong, HCL is stronger. The larger the electronegative atom, the stronger the acid. I forgot why, but I think it has to do with the stability of the conjugate base due to induction.
Connor Roberts
you guys
John Richardson
use some fluoroantimonic acid desu
Wyatt Gray
Not realizing HF would blow OP up
Matthew Perry
Is that why whenever people want to to dissolve bodies they use HI :^) ?

>not choosing whatever has the lowest pKa >CL, not Cl >electronegativity dictates how strong an acid could be even if reactivity depends solely on conc. of H+(aq)

>whenever people want to to dissolve bodies ... they use lye (sodium hydroxide) Lrn2dissolve-bodies fgt pls
