heyaaaa!!!!!!
☑️Acids, as you know are, are chemically very active. They will accept electron pairs readily to "oxidise" the electron donor. Again, metals contain lots of free electrons. So most metals will react with acids to yield compounds called salts.
☑️It is these salts that are harmful; salts of many metals (like copper and aluminium) with organic acids (like citric acid or acetic acid) are toxic.
☑️This is why you should never store foodstuffs in metallic vessels. (Most of our food tends to be acidic).

coz aluminium is a metal and when metal reacths with acid then harmful salt can be produced which can harm the eating person.
