Best Answer

Heating a substance causes the molecules within it to move more quickly. So imagine that every surface atom of the metal reacted with acid: the faster the reacted material can move away from the unreacted metal, the faster new acid molecules can get close enough to the metal to react.

Why you do acid digestion for metal testing?

Acid digestion is necessary to dissolve metal samples for analysis. Most lab chemistry involves dissolving a salt with water or organic material with solvent to obtain a known volume solution for chemical analysis. Metals will not dissolve in water or organic solvents, therefore acid digestion is a method of dissolving the metal into solution, which can then be analyzed by laboratory methods to determine the amount of metal or element present. Acid digestion is simply adding acid to the metal sample and heating until it appears the solid metal has fully dissolved. This sample can then be diluted down with an acid/water mixture and analyzed against an acid/water background solution for comparison.
