∙ 6y agoThe term "corrosive" can be applied to both acids and alkalis. The terms describes their effect not their composition or mode of reaction. Also note it is not just acids and alkalis that can be called corrosive, other chemicals can too.
When relating to chemistry, "Corrosive" means capable of destroying solid materials, tending to eat away or consume.

∙ 11y agoAlkalis are just as dangerous and corrosive as acids, and cause a degree of chemical burns depending on the strength of the substance.

∙ 9y agono they are both very dangerous to several substances,including your skin of coarse

How does the carbonation in soda cause the soda cans to corrode?
No ------ All solutions containing acids are more or less corrosive.
In chemistry has a bitter taste?
Sour taste is associated with acids (technically, pH less than 7).
The net flow of molecules from less concentrated to more concentrated solutions is?
Osmosis
What is the processby which substances move from areas of higher concentrationto areas of lower concentration?
More concentrated to less concentrated
Chemical that is corrosive has a sour taste and pH less than 7?
Any organic, dilute (but strong enough to corrode some metals), non-toxic (and edible) acid, like Acetic acid, Citric acid, Tartaric acid, etc.a strong and concentrated organic acid, like concentrated acetic acid
How does the carbonation in soda cause the soda cans to corrode?
No ------ All solutions containing acids are more or less corrosive.
What is a concentrated mineral acid?
Mineral acids are non-organic acids. Sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric acids are probably the most important commercially, though they're certainly not the only mineral acids. "Concentrated" generally means "the standard purity supplied by manufacturers." This varies quite a bit depending on the exact acid; it can be nearly pure (sulfuric or nitric acids), somewhat less so (phosphoric acid, typically about 70%), or quite a bit less (hydrochloric acid at around 38% or so).
Strong acids have pH values ranging from 11 to 14?
No. A pH in the range of 11 to 14 would be a strong or concentrated base. An acid has a pH less than 7.
What is a term used for a less concentrated solution?
A DILUTE solution is the usual terminology for a less concentrated solution.
Five properties of acids?
* Strong or concentrated acids often produce a stinging feeling on mucous membranes * React to indicators as follows: turn blue litmus and methyl orange red, do not change the color of phenolphthalein * Will react with metals to produce a metal salt and hydrogen * Will react with metal carbonates to produce water, CO2 and a salt * Will react with a base to produce a salt and water * Will react with a metal oxide to produce water and a salt * Will conduct electricity, depending on the degree of dissociation * Will produce solvonium ions, such as hydronium (H3O+) ions in water * Will denature proteins * Generally sour tasted Strong acids and many concentrated acids are dangerous, causing severe burns for even minor contact. Acids are corrosive. Generally, acid burns are treated by rinsing the affected area abundantly with running water (15 minutes) and followed up with immediate medical attention. In the case of highly concentrated acids, the acid should first be wiped off as much as possible, otherwise the exothermic mixing of the acid and the water could cause severe thermal burns. Acids may also be dangerous for reasons not related to their acidity, see an appropriate MSDS for more detailed information.
What are the characteristics an acid?
An acid is: A substance that produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. A substance that reduces the pH of a solution (it has a pH of less than 7). To human taste buds, acids taste bitter. In high concentrations, acids are corrosive, especially to some metals and to most organic compounds.
In chemistry has a bitter taste?
Sour taste is associated with acids (technically, pH less than 7).
What is a corrosive substance with a pH less than 7.0?
An Acid.
The net flow of molecules from less concentrated to more concentrated solutions is?
