What else can I help you with?
Are acids corrosive to metals?
Yes, acids are corrosive to metals because they can react with the metal surface, causing it to deteriorate or dissolve.
Do acids dissolve many metals?
Yes, acids can dissolve many metals by oxidizing them, causing them to lose electrons and form metal ions. This process is known as chemical corrosion and can vary depending on the type of acid and metal involved.
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
What is the effect of acid on some metals?
That will depend not only on the metal but also on the acid. Some strong acids will dissolve almost all metals almost instantly, some weak acids will do nothing at all to any metal. Some metals (e.g. zinc) are corroded or even dissolved by most acids, some metals (e.g. gold) are totally unaffected except by certain mixtures of very strong acids.
Can goat's blood really dissolve a diamond?
No, goat's blood cannot dissolve a diamond. Diamonds are the hardest known natural material, and only a few substances, such as molten metals or very strong acids, can dissolve them. Goat's blood does not have the chemical properties to dissolve diamonds.
Will quartz dissolve in acid?
Quartz will only dissolve in hydroflluoric acid.
Why is an acid able to dissolve some metals?
Acids can dissolve some metals because they release hydrogen ions that react with the metal to form metal ions and hydrogen gas. This reaction weakens the metallic bonds in the metal, leading to its dissolution.
Will vinegar dissolve gold?
No, vinegar will not dissolve gold. Gold is a noble metal and is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, making it impervious to most acids, including acetic acid found in vinegar. Only strong acids, such as aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids), can dissolve gold.
Can acid melt metal?
Yes, some acids can react with and dissolve certain metals. For example, concentrated nitric acid can dissolve metals like copper and silver through a chemical reaction that forms metal nitrates. However, not all metals are easily dissolved by acids, as the reactivity varies depending on the type of metal and acid used.
Does oxalic acid dissolve in sulphuric acid?
These acids doesn't react; they are only mixed.
If a largemouth bass eats asmall trout that had tiny treble inside the trout mouth will he die?
No! Stomach acids would eventually dissolve metals.
What makes acids wear away metals?
Acids can react with metals.
