What type of acid do you need to melt metal?
Acids don't actually melt metal, they oxidize or corrode them. Usually producing the corresponding metal salt and hydrogen gas. Most strong acids (hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, perchloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids) will oxidize metals in this manner. Some weak acids such as hydrofluoric acid can oxidize metals. Some metals, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals will react with virtually any acid and even water. Nitric acid can oxidize copper, which normally doesn't react with acid. Aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid will oxidize gold and platinum, which are usually considered immune to corrosion.
What metal could you boil in a Bunsen flame at 800 degrees?
Zinc, Lead, Tin any metal that is on the softer side would melt.
What metal can get hot enough to glow but not melt?
all metal can melt
How do you melt lead safely?
Lead is a very soft metal with a very low melting point of 621 degrees fahrenheit. This temperature can easily be reached with a campfire or outdoors burner.
Is lead soft metal?
Most of the world production of lead is used in lead-acid batteries,like the ones used in cars.Lead is very dense and quite soft.
Can acid melt metal?
Don't confuse the process of melting, which is caused by heat, with the process of dissolving, which is caused by solvents such as acid. Acid can dissolve metal, but it does not melt metal.
Could stomach acid melt metal?
No. But it could etch it. The acid is hydrochloric acid and can burn a hole in a rug.
How remove tin from lead?
you have to melt it! the lead sinks to the bottom because it is a heaver metal.
Can you melt a broken drill bit in aluminum using sulfuric acid?
Sulfuric acid does not melt metal, it oxidizes it and dissolves it. Aluminum will react with sulfuric acid, but because of the protective coating of aluminum oxide the reaction is extremely slow.

What is lead nitrate?
It is a solution produced from adding metal lead and nitric acid to form lead nitrate and hydrogen
Does sulphuric acid melt metal?
No. Sulfuric acid oxidizes metals to produce sulfates. Melting is a process tha metals undergo when heated.
What metal could you boil in a Bunsen flame at 800 degrees?
Zinc, Lead, Tin any metal that is on the softer side would melt.
Why lead does not react with hydrochloric acid?
ITs because lead forms an insoluble film of lead chloride on the surface of the metal-Sagar Verma
What is the balanced equation for the reaction of nitric acid on lead?
if you mean lead the metal: Pb + 2H+ --> Pb+2 + H2
What is the name of the substance formed when the metal 'Lead' reacts with Nitric acid?
In this reaction, a colorless salt, lead nitrate is formed.
What metal can get hot enough to glow but not melt?
all metal can melt
