Sulphacid \Sulph*ac"id\, n. [Sulpho- + acid.] (Chem.)       An acid in which, to a greater or less extent, sulphur plays       a part analogous to that of oxygen in an oxyacid; thus,       thiosulphuric and sulpharsenic acids are sulphacids; --       called also {sulphoacid}. See the Note under {Acid}, n., 2.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Acid \Ac"id\, n.       1. A sour substance.          2. (Chem.) One of a class of compounds, generally but not             always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in             water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors.             They are also characterized by the power of destroying the             distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining             with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own             peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united             with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or             more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this             negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen             are sometimes called {hydracids} in distinction from the             others which are called {oxygen acids} or {oxacids}.          Note: In certain cases, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium may                take the place of oxygen, and the corresponding                compounds are called respectively {sulphur acids} or                {sulphacids}, {selenium acids}, or {tellurium acids}.                When the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a positive                element or radical, a salt is formed, and hence acids                are sometimes named as salts of hydrogen; as hydrogen                nitrate for nitric acid, hydrogen sulphate for                sulphuric acid, etc. In the old chemistry the name acid                was applied to the oxides of the negative or                nonmetallic elements, now sometimes called anhydrides.

The neutral compound formed by the union of an             acid and a base; thus, sulphuric acid and iron form the             salt sulphate of iron or green vitriol.          Note: Except in case of ammonium salts, accurately speaking,                it is the acid radical which unites with the base or                basic radical, with the elimination of hydrogen, of                water, or of analogous compounds as side products. In                the case of diacid and triacid bases, and of dibasic                and tribasic acids, the mutual neutralization may vary                in degree, producing respectively basic, neutral, or                acid salts.

Most of Slovakia's    IMF-approved targets were met by an interim government that lasted 9    months. Annual inflation fell from 23% in 1993 to 12%; unemployment at    14.6% was still well below forecasts of 17%; and the budget deficit    was around half that in 1993. Slovakia's nearly $200 million trade    surplus also compares favorably with a more than $800 million deficit    in 1993. Furthermore, after contracting almost 25% in the three years    following 1990, GDP grew 4.3% in 1994, according to official    statistics. Bratislava in June qualified for a $254 million IMF    stand-by loan and the second $90 million tranche of its Systemic    Transformation Facility and, in December, received approval for a    European Union loan worth about $160 million. By the end of September    1994, the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves had tripled since    the end of 1993. Slovakia continued to have difficulty attracting    foreign investment, however, because of perceived political    instability and halting progress in privatization. The interim    government prepared property worth nearly $2 billion for the second    wave of coupon privatization and sold participation in the program to    over 80% of Slovakia's eligible citizens. Parties controlling the new    Parliament in November 1994, however, put the second wave of coupon    privatization on hold and suspended sales of 38 firms until the new    government could evaluate the interim government's decisions in early    1995. The new government's targets for 1995 include GDP growth of 3%,    inflation of 8%-10%, unemployment of 15%, and a budget deficit under    3% of GDP. Continuing economic recovery in western Europe should boost    Slovak exports and production, but Slovakia's image with foreign    creditors and investors could suffer setbacks in 1995 if progress on    privatization stalls or budget deficits mount beyond IMF-recommended    levels.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $32.8 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 4.3% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $6,070 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 12% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: 14.6% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $4.4 billion    expenditures: $4.8 billion, including capital expenditures of $350    million (1994 est.)       Exports: $6.3 billion (f.o.b., January-November 1994)    commodities: machinery and transport equipment; chemicals; fuels,    minerals, and metals; agricultural products    partners: Czech Republic 37.7%, Germany 17.1%, Hungary 5.3%, Austria    5.3%, Italy 4.6%, Russia 4.0%, Poland 2.6%, Ukraine 1.8%, US 1.6%    (January-September 1994)       Imports: $6.1 billion (f.o.b., January-November 1994)    commodities: machinery and transport equipment; fuels and lubricants;    manufactured goods; raw materials; chemicals; agricultural products    partners: Czech Republic 29.9%, Russia 19.0%, Germany 13.2%, Austria    5.8%, Italy 4.3%, US 2.6%, Poland 2.4%, Ukraine 1.9%, Hungary 1.6%    (January-September 1994)       External debt: $4.2 billion hard currency indebtedness (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate NA%       Electricity:    capacity: 6,300,000 kW    production: 20.9 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 3,609 kWh (1993)       Industries: metal and metal products; food and beverages; electricity,    gas, and water; coking, oil production, and nuclear fuel production;    chemicals and manmade fibers; machinery; paper and printing;    earthenware and ceramics; transport vehicles; textiles; electrical and    optical apparatus; rubber products       Agriculture: largely self-sufficient in food production; diversified    crop and livestock production, including grains, potatoes, sugar    beets, hops, fruit, hogs, cattle, and poultry; exporter of forest    products       Illicit drugs: transshipment point for Southwest Asian heroin bound    for Western Europe       Economic aid:    donor: the former Czechoslovakia was a donor - $4.2 billion in    bilateral aid to non-Communist less developed countries (1954-89)       Currency: 1 koruna (Sk) = 100 halierov       Exchange rates: koruny (Sk) per US$1 - 31.14 (September 1994), 32.9    (December 1993), 28.59 (December 1992), 28.26 (1992), 29.53 (1991),    17.95 (1990), 15.05 (1989); note - values before 1993 reflect    Czechoslovak exchange rate       Fiscal year: calendar year       Slovakia:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 3,660 km (electrified 635 km)    broad gauge: 102 km 1.520-m gauge    standard gauge: 3,511 km 1.435-m gauge    narrow gauge: 47 km (35 km 1,000-m gauge; 12 km 0.750-m gauge) (1994)       Highways:    total: 17,650 km (1990)    paved: NA    unpaved: NA       Inland waterways: NA km       Pipelines: petroleum products NA km; natural gas 2,700 km       Ports: Bratislava, Komarno       Merchant marine:    total: 2 cargo ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 4,160 GRT/6,163 DWT       Airports:    total: 37    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 3    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 2    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2    with paved runways under 914 m: 4    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 2    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 2    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 10    with unpaved runways under 914 m: 11       Slovakia:Communications       Telephone system: NA telephones    local: NA    intercity: NA    international: NA       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM NA, FM NA, shortwave NA    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: NA    televisions: NA       Slovakia:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Air and Air Defense Forces, Civil Defense, Railroad    Units       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 1,443,719; males fit for    military service 1,107,453; males reach military age (18) annually    49,045 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: 9.59 billion koruny, 3.1% of GDP (1994 est.);    note - conversion of defense expenditures into US dollars using the    current exchange rate could produce misleading results
