Yea considering the density you would float as if you were not on earth... Useing a wooden boat could be dangerous, as if it breaks apart is no
safekeeping. Why not just sail aroud with a reinforced boat like those made of aluminium used for fishing? Dude, no need to scuba dive around duh
...you crazy?
I wud put that the dissolved salts may or may not contribute to the overral destructive power of the lake's water. Once I serendiptously mixed 98%
sulfuric, 53% nitric and 35% hydrochloric acids to some special proportion stainsless stel dissolved in it vigorously, without heating. So vigorous
the few mL of what had been prepared bubbled non stop until make its way out the reaction vessel. Seems some equilibrium allowed for the highest
corrosive state(s) of the component acid to be over-actived, something like a constinuously fed excited state.
So, taking 5% percent steps, how many solutions of both 3 acids would be required to probe the once prepared superacid formed, rediscovering it? about
20 tries?
Indeed, on the dissolution of the aluminium can inside the lake a lot of porrly described reactants could raise the very same strange smell of rotten
eggs from the reaction and the site doesn't support enough to tell how.
As for contribution of dissolved salts:
Ca(2+) + 2H2O --> Ca(OH)2 + 2H+ (pH raises)
2H+ + Fe + --> Fe(2+) + H2
Fe(2+) + H2O --> Fe(OH)2 + 2H+
Ca(OH)2 + 2H+ --> Ca(2+) + 2H2O (pH decreases)
In fact metallics cations add's a lot to the corrosive power of the solution, although it doesn't change its acidity.
Seems Al is sometimes contaminated too, its smells horribly whn etched
