Question

Acids are stored in glass container and not in metallic containers. Why?
A) Glass containers are transparent B) Glass containers are cheaper C) Metal containers are not easily available. D) Metals react with acids if acids are stored in metallic containers.

Answer 1

metals react with acid if acids are stored in metalic containers

Answer 2

D) Metals react with acids if acids are stored in metallic containers.

• Acids are stored in glass container and not in metallic containers because metals react with acids if acids are stored in metallic containers. And they will form oxides of metals.
• Whenever a metal is put in a acid or acid in metal, it gets under chemical reactions. Bubbles can be seen during this process.
• When metals are reacted with acids they result in formation of salt and hydrogen.
• e.g. Magnesium+ hydrochloric acid= Magnesium chloride+ hydrogen gas.
• And this happens always when a acid reacts with metal.
• Acids can't react with glass bottles. So, they are kept in these bottles.
