Phosphoric acid exists as a clear liquid that
is oily, thick, colorless, and odorless. It reacts with
most metals to form flammable hydrogen gas. The
liquid can solidify in arctic temperatures. It is soluble
in alcohol and hot water. It also reacts strongly with
flesh and will burn it away.
Sulfuric acid is a clear, colorless, oily, dense,
and odorless liquid. Concentrated sulfuric acid can
catch fire or explode when it comes into contact
with alcohols or metals, although alone it is not combustible.
It is reactive with organic materials (flesh)
and water. It can cause severe, deep burns upon
skin contact, destroying tissue due to its dehydrating
effect. Permanent scars will result with contact.
Eye contact often results in permanent blindness.
Sulfuric acid mist severely irritates the eyes, respiratory
tract, and skin. When mixed with water it gets
very hot due to its powerfully dehydrating effect.
Sulfuric acid stores very well; heat and light have
little, if any, effect on it.
Base
Similar and yet opposite to an acid, bases
react with non-basic substances, and most notably
with acids. Bases conduct electricity and taste bitter.
Since water is a weak base, adding it to a base is
generally not a good idea.
Lithium Hydroxide is an off-white, translucent
solid that is odorless. This base affects the
body if it is inhaled, ingested, or contacts the skin.
Ingestion may cause nausea, muscle twitches, mental
confusion, blurring of vision, coma, and death.
It is a severe eye irritant and may cause tissue damage.
Contact with acids will cause fires and explosions.
Contact with water will cause the formation
of flammable and explosive gas. Due to its dehydrating
effect, this base will ignite in moist air even
at ambient temperatures.
Lye is a white, odorless solid (formally, it is
sodium hydroxide). It may be in the form of a solid,
dust, mist, or solution. Lye can affect the body if it
is inhaled, ingested, or contacts the skin. It is corrosive
to any tissue it contacts. It will cause severe
burns, scarring, and death may result. Contact with
water, acids, or flammable liquids may cause fires
and explosions, although alone it is not combustible.
