In Episode 1 of the Shedding Light on Acids and Bases series, Acids in Industry, we look at what acids are, how they're made, and how they're used in steel making and agriculture. We also take a quick trip back to the 1770s to look at how acids were used by Captain James Cook to save his crew from the disease that used to kill more sailors than shipwrecks and sea battles!
