oral question why are acids not storded in metal containers
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Strong acids, for example, are best stored in PMP or HDPE containers. This is partly because these plastics are chemically inert and so won't react with the substance. ... For this reason, it is not suitable to store certain chemicals in metal containers as they are likely to corrode.We know that metals react with acids to form salts and hydrogen gas. When curd and other sour substances are kept in metallic containers like copper vessel, copper reacts with the acid in it to form hydrogen gas and toxic substances which are unhealthy and unfit for human consumption. It may cause food poisoning also.
TAKE CARE!!
Acid are not stored in metal containers because most acids react with iron and carbon that make the steel, making it soluble and over time it would rust out the container.
