Why are acids not stored in metal containers ? Containers / vessels made from which material are safe to
store acids?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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. Most acids can be stored in Teflon coated steel containers though, and even glass gets etched by acids over time.

Answer 2

Answer:

This is because acids react with metals to form salts and water. No, it is not safe to store acids in metal containers. These acids penetrate and make holes the wall of the metal containers.
