It is primarily used at sewerage treatment plants for the destruction and degradation of silver solder and copper piping used in air conditioning systems. It also has a secondary effect of rapidly accelerating rust in anything ferrous, particularly air conditioner panelling and framework. Even traditionally corrosion proof materials are no match for methanic acid. Methanic acid has a very distinctive odour which is remarkably similar to POO. The long term exposure effects of methanic acid are not yet known, but a reduced sense of smell has been experienced short term.

What is methanic acid?
Methanic acid is an intensely corrosive substance which exists in gaseous form. It was first discovered and named by the famous chemical engineer, Professor T. Hewitt from the university of PST (Phwoar Smell That) in Loisville Kentucky. Professor Hewitt graduated with honours in odour studies and majored in flammable human gas. He first discovered this highly flammable, stinky gas after eating one and a half subway foot-long subs and 2 tins of baked beans. (Bet he wished there were no naked flames around that day). After being released from hospital, he instigated intense investigations into this previously unknown gas. Methanic acid has the remarkable ability to turn clean copper pipe black within hours. It can reduce an air conditioner to dust within a couple of years. The aroma of methanic acid can be quite disturbing and when concentrated can produce vomiting in humans. Methanic acid is usually produced at sewerage treatment plants to destroy all metallic objects within a 1km radius. Methanic acid has been known to curl nose hairs in nasally weak humans. Prolonged exposure has been known to cause social isolation of the exposed subject due to the release of absorbed methanic acid from the skin and the subject's diminished sense of smell. Professor T. Hewitt is the only recognised expert on this little known substance and has spent extensive time researching this putrid gas. His most famous quote is "watch out for the methanic acid!". This is a timely warning for all of the human race!
What type of bond is present in Methanic gas?
I have never heard of methanic gas. If you mean methane, it is covalent, sp3 hybridised from each bond of the carbon bonding with the 1s orbital of each hydrogen
What is the name of the acid used to carbonate beverages?

Is nitric acid the same as sulfuric acid?

What is the name of the acid used to make zinc sulphate?

What type of acids are used in explosives?
Nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid are commonly used in the production of explosives. Nitric acid is often used as an oxidizer, while sulfuric acid can serve as a catalyst in certain explosive reactions. Hydrochloric acid may be used in the preparation of certain explosive substances.
If sodium nitrate was formed what acid was used?
During the formation of a salt anion comes from acid so in this case acid used must be Nitric acid.
What acid used in salad dressings?
Acetic acid (vinegar), citric acid

What kind of acid should be used to displace an acid from its salt?
acid anhydride
