Question

“Corrosive action of acids is not related to their strength”. Justify this statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

"Corrosive action of acid is not related to their strength", this statement is true as there are many acid which are not corrosive in nature but has pH equal to greater than the acids which are corrosive in nature. For example the mineral acids like HCl and $H_{2}SO_{4}$ are corrosive in nature whereas organic acids like citric acid and acetic acid are not corrosive in nature.
