As plastic and glass material are non reactive they are used to store chemicals. If we will store it in some reactive material the chemical substances will loose their property,ultimately it will give some other substance.

Why acid stored in glass containers rather than in plastic?

Why are acids stored in glass containers rather than plastics?

Acids are typically stored in glass containers because some acids will destroy plastic vessels or react adversely with them.


Why are acid stored in a glass containers rather than plastics?

Acids are now stored in plastic containers. There are some advantages to plastic. First, plastic won't break if you drop it on the lab floor. Second, there is an acid (hydrofluoric acid, which is always called HF because "hydrofluoric" and "hydrochloric" sound a lot alike but "hydrofluoric" is far more dangerous) that can't be stored in glass at all. HF will eat right through a glass container. It can be, and is, stored in plastic. Having said that, no one in an educational setting should ever have access to this product. Do an exercise here: draw a square 125mm on each side. If HF comes into contact with that much of the skin on your body, you will die without EXTREMELY aggressive medical care from people who know how to manage HF casualties. And even if your medical attendants have been to Honeywell's school - Honeywell is the company that makes most of the HF in the United States - and they have all the chemicals needed to save your life, there are no guarantees. Next, plastic containers weigh less. And they can be made with a roughened surface for better gripping.


Pool pump is not working Can't get a service call now What will happen due to the freeze?

Stop the whole surface of the water from turning into a solid sheet of ice as the expansion of the ice may damage the pool. To do this lay a line of floating plastic containers in a line along the center of the pool. that way any expansion will go in the direction of the containers rather then the pools side.


Is NaMnO4 a crystal metallic lattice?

No, NaMnO4 is not a crystal metallic lattice. It is a compound composed of sodium (Na), manganese (Mn), and oxygen (O) atoms arranged in a specific chemical structure rather than a metallic lattice.


Why granulated zinc is used in the preparation of hydrogen rather than metallic zinc?

Don't know, because granulated zinc IS metallic itself: solid, elemental Zn.


Why acids stored in glass containers rather than in plastic?

Because most acids react with most metals. Which is why sometimes, rust and other problems occur when your using metal pipes. Also, a base (the opposite of acids) is used to unclog pipes and drains instead of acids because of its corrosive effect on metals.

Why metallic bond is not formed in non metals?

Non-metals do not typically form metallic bonds due to their electron configuration. Non-metals tend to gain or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, rather than lose electrons like metals. This leads to the formation of covalent or ionic bonds in non-metals, rather than metallic bonds.


Why were canned invented?

The garbage can as we know it today was not an invention, per se, but rather as evolution from simple containers used to hold garbage, rather than throw it into the streets.
