Question

Glass or plastic bottles are commonly used to store Acids and Bases in a
chemistry laboratory. Why do you think metal bottles are not used? Justify your
answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

because acids and bases react with metals by reacting with them it may cause fire accident

Answer 2

Storing a chemical in the right container is the first way to ensure safety when handling strong acids and bases. A material that is likely to react with the chemical it holds, like a metal container, isn’t going to be suitable for a substance like nitric acid, for example. Moreover plastics and glass are non-reactive. They are inert to air and water. They are non-corrosive, therefore we can store chemicals in them safely.
