- Acids with a pH less than 4 are very reactive and can result in chemical burns. Hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, and phosphoric acids are examples of powerful acids. - Weak acids like acetic, citric, and carbonic acids do not cause corrosion.
- As a result of glass' chemical inertness to acids, acids are carefully maintained in glass containers.
- Glass does not react chemically with most aqueous compounds, including acids.
- Glass containers are non-porous, therefore they don't absorb or pollute acids in any way, and they keep them safe.
