""Cute Poison" refers to the label on a bottle Michael has tattooed on his arm. The letters are a mnemonic for copper sulfate (Cu O S to mean CuSO4) and phosphoric acid (P O to mean H3PO4). Copper sulfate is commonly used as an herbicide. Phosphoric acid is a component of fertilizer. " Prisonbreak @ www.fox.com/prisonbreak
Chlorine is a corrosive element.Adjective: Both acids and bases are highly corrosive chemicals, and will cause severe burns when in contact with skin.Noun: Sulphuric acid is a strong corrosive.H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is an extremely corrosive acid. found in the stomachs of humans the lining of the stomach is replace about once every week!
A salt of the metal. It could be an oxide but equally, it could be a halide, carbonate, suplhate or other salt.
This is different for different metals.
Because if you join copper (the pipe) directly into steel (the radiator) the electrolytic difference is so great they would corrode very quickly. By using brass between them you reove this risk.
no it wont the acid will stop it rusting xxx
Yes, a metal gas pipe can corrode. We have recently had British Gas renew the gas system in the village. They dug small pits to expose gas joints in the street, and then inserted plastic tubing through the old metal pipes. After rejoining in the pits, and in the houses to the gas meter, they filled in the pits and left. A good job done.

Water does, so I am pretty sure steam will
Pipe flanges are protected from corrosion by means of electrolysis,with dielectric flanges. The piping system is electricaly insulated by what is called a sacrificial anode. A bag of readily corrodable metal is buried in the ground with a wire running from the pipe to the bag so that the sacrificial anode will corrode first. If any electrical current charges the pipe it also serves as a ground.
If you do connect copper pipe to galvanized pipe, you will need a dielectric coupling or else the galvanized pipe will corrode. Same with connecting galvanized pipe to brass fittings. Brass is an alloy that contains copper and therefore the same electrolytic properties will exist unless a dielectric coupling is used. Hope that helps you out.
Corroding a substance would be a chemical change because it alters the composition of the material being corroded.
This is hard to answer with out knowing what type of metal. what the pipe is being used for, the amount of pressure that may be not the pipe.
It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler. The hot pipe when splashed by cold water cause the metal to expand and contract so quickly the weld cracked off and the heat shield now rattles It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler.

PVC pipes do not corrode, hence these are used for drinking water supply.
the heat from hot water will heat the pipe, loosening the bonds between the molecules in the pipe and allowing for more oxygen molecules to enter, creating more rust much faster. cold water will do the opposite; it will make the bonds tighter and allow LESS oxygen in.
Aside from cost, which is lower, there are several reasons that PCV piping is better than the conventional metal pipe. PCV is a strong resiliant material that can be molded into any pipe shape. It does not corrode, so you do not have to worry about rusting or rotting. The piping is cost effective and has been shown to be leak resistant, saving in repair costs as well.
do NOT use copper pipe for de-ionized wateranswerEvery D.I. system I ever installed was spec'd CPVC or polypropylene. Deionized water is extremely pure and will dissolve any unprotected metal surfaces. Copper and iron pipe/tubing will rapidly corrode. Stainless steels (304/316) are protected against this corrosion. Plastic and aluminum can also be acceptable although they are not as strong.
