Will sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid corrode aluminum?
Yes.
Does acid rain have acid in it?
Every time it rains, it doesn't mean that there is acid, sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't. Acid rain come from factories. They release fumes containing sulfur dioxide, it then mixes with water and forms sulfuric acid. The acid cloud then travels with the wind and when it rains, the acid falls on trees and buildings and they corrode. That is why sometimes statues which are situated outside have small holes in them, because they would always be outside and when it rains, acid goes on them.
Why do metals corrode?
because we keep metal next to chemicals that corrode them. Metals like iron naturally corrode in water. Other metals can be made to corrode using chemicals.
Will absorbic acid corrode aluminum?
yes
Can sulfuric acid corrode glass?
Yes, it will. It'll be slow, but it'll happen. In the meantime, your sulphuric will be contaminating with the metal salts as well. Go for HDPE or glass.
What destruction are made by acid rain?
Acid rain can erode stone, corrode metal and destroy the structure of clayey soils.
Does acid rain effect metal objects?

Can building corrode?
They corrode due to acid rain. Smoke from the factories dissolve in rain to form acid rain.
How long does it take for acid rain to corrode limestone?

How does citrict acid affect metal?
it makes it rust and corrode
What effect does sulfur dioxide have on buildings?
Sulfur dioxide combines with oxygen and water to form acid rain Sulfuric and sulfurous acids). The acid can corrode metal and dissolve limestone, marble and cement.
What could you put on some metal letters to protect them from acid rain?
Metals are usually protected from corrosion by encasing them in an impervious material or connecting them to a sacrificial anode which is more reactive metal which will corrode first. Some paints have such materials in them (such as zinc) which oxidize first.
What happens when acid rain hits you?
nothing acid rain does not mean corrode your skin. acid rain is formed by sulphur dioxide reacting with water in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid however this acid does not have a really low PH like other acids it has a PH of 4 or 5 and therefore will only corrode rocks such as limestone over a long period of time
Does granite corrode?
Yes, the acid in rain water commonly corrodes it.
How does an acid rain form?
An acid rain forms due to both sulphuric and nitric acid making it acid rain. Acid rain damages buildings, metal structures, soils plants and animal life
What things corrode metal?
Corrosion of metal is caused by oxygen or oxidising substances, salty water and some medium strong acids
