No, not at all. It's actually the hazardous chemicals in the acid that causes it to melt trough things. If the pH level of acid caused it to burn through thing then most soda like Dr.pepper would burn right through. But the pH level does contribute to it though.

∙ 8y agoAcids do not simply "melt through" things. Various acids react with different materials. The stronger, more concentrated an acid is, the faster that reaction. pH is a measure of how strong an acid or a base is- the smaller the number, the stronger the acid. However, if an acid and a given material do not react (glass and sulfuric acid, for example) then no matter how strong the acid, there will be no reaction.

Liquid that can dissolve things?
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) will dissolve glass, but it is one of the most dangerous chemicals to work with. It absorbs through the skin undetected and will decalcify bones.
What are 20 things that dissolve in ACID?
Your question is too vague. Anything will dissolve in acid if it is the right acid. You need to specify which acid you're thinking about to get a specific list.
How can you tell the difference between cause and effect?
Effect is the outcome of a circumstance and cause it what made it happen... For example the cause of acid rain is increased amounts of pollution in the atmostphere and one of the effects acid rain incurs is the wearing down of limestone buildings.
What are 3 things that cause mechanical weathering?
air oxidation, groundwater, and acid precipitation
What gas is a major cause of chemical weathering?
I believe you're referring to sulfuric acid, which is in acid rain.
Does acid rain cause erosion?
There are several things that cause erosion, and acid rain is one of them.
Is acid hot?
No, but it can burn through things.
What does an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution cause?
Two things: and increase both in i) the caustic powers resulting from the dissolution of an acid in water: due to the fact that H+ [hydrogen ions] are what makes an acid An Acid; and ii) an increase in the readings on the pH - level of acid/base - Scale.
What damages does acid rain cause in lakes?
when acid rain falls in the lake, it damages all the living things inside the lake. the acidity level of the water will rise killing the aquatic animals(fish) hope this helps
What is the effect of eccess uric acid in human body?
The lack of uric acid in the human body can cause gout. There are many medications designed to keep uric acid at an adequate level to treat this disease.
How do the aliens have acid blood?
Their blood pH level(Acidity) is obviously lower than ours. (The lower the pH level the more acidic a substance is-The higher the pH the less acidic a substance is) So considering battery acid has a pH of .5 and can burn through certain metals and the aliens blood seem to burn through many things I'd estimate the aliens have a blood pH level of about -5 through -10.
What properties cause an acid or a base to be strong or weak?
This depends on the level of dissociation of acids or bases.
Can hydrochloric acid get through latex gloves?
Yes because hydrochloric acid is a very strong acid that can cause severe burns on human flesh.
What process would cause acid to move through agar jelly?
diffusion
Can too much caffeine or red meat cause anal bleeding?
too much caffeine can cause it cause it raises the acid level in your intestines and it also causes loose stool. thus your stomach acid leaks out of your anus and if not taken care of the acid will cause sores that bleed. and it also hurts alot!!!
What is a cause of chemical weathering?
acids, air, water, oxidation, ground water, acid rain, and acid that comes from living things
What are other ph decreasers?
Adding an acid to a solution can cause the ph to decrease. Looking at things in the molecular level a good acid or something that will be able to decrease the ph will be anything that can easily donate an H+ ion to a solution. Strong acids are examples
