Identify the branch of chemistry that is related to the following information:
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is extremely corrosive to skin.

Answer 1

The five major branches of chemistry are organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, and biochemistry. These divide into many sub-branches.

Explanation:

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Organic chemistry involves the study of the structure, properties, and preparation of chemical compounds that consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen.

Organic chemistry overlaps with many areas including

Medicinal chemistry —the design, development, and synthesis of medicinal drugs. It overlaps with pharmacology (the study of drug action).Organometallic chemistry — the study of chemical compounds containing bonds between carbon and a metal.Polymer chemistry — the study of the chemistry of polymers.Physical organic chemistry — the study of the interrelationships between structure and reactivity in organic molecules.Stereochemistry — the study of the spatial arrangements of atoms in molecules and their effects on the chemical and physical properties of substances.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sulfuric acid is very irritating and corrosive to the skin, eyes, respiratory track and gastrointestinal track. Ingestion of sulfuric acid can burn the mouth and throat, and erode the stomach; death can occur. Direct eye contact can result in blindness. High concentrations in air may make it difficult to breathe, especially for those with asthma or during strenuous exercise. Chronic lung disease (bronchitis, fibrosis, emphysema), reduced lung function, and tooth decay have been ...
