Is citric acid safer than vinegar for electrolysis?
Accepted Answer
Citric acid and vinegar (acetic acid) are both weak acids, but they differ in their conductivity and reactivity. For electrolysis, vinegar is generally considered a better choice due to its higher conductivity, which allows for a smoother flow of electricity. However, both solutions can be used depending on the specific application and the desired outcome. It's important to note that safety is paramount, and the appropriate precautions should be taken during electrolysis, regardless of the electrolyte used.
