Why does acid causes burn?

Sulfuric acid.

the real cause of heart burn is acid in the tummy and burns like the mad

because the hydrogen starts to burn and causes fire and it also spits out very hot acid which is dangerous for your eyes and could burn your skin instantly.

Your stomach liner is week in some spots so the acid will burn

acid cause oxidation, which causes corrosion. in terms of skin it means that the acid (depending on its strength) will burn the skin

Lactic acid causes the muscle to "burn" or feel irritated; it also contributes to the sensation of muscle fatigue.

It is slightly alkaline to neutralise the acid in the stomach, what ultimately causes hear burn.

The presence of too much lactic acid in muscle cells causes damage called lactic acid burn. This condition occurs when respiration takes place with insufficient oxygen.

Alot of people have heart burn and think it is acid reflux but it really is just an imbalance of stomach acid. Taking a probiotic with bifidus culture can prevent reoccuring indegestion. Another way to battle heart burn is by eating natural yogurt. You need to regulate your digestive system not cause an imbalance in your stomach acid which causes more heart burn.

Lactic acid will form and causes what is called a burn.

When muscles are worked vigorously they can not receive oxygen and energy from the body fast enough to sustain them. Because of this, they undergo lactic acid fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation provides the muscle cells with this missing energy, however the build up of this lactic acid causes muscles to burn.

Coal and oil release sulfur dioxide gas when they burn, which causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.

turns the toucher into a mutant. NO! ONLY JOKING! it probably causes a "Burn" on you. (what if it does do my first explanation...)

Heart burn is caused by excess Hydrochloric acid moving up the esophagus.

Lactic acid builds up and causes muscle burn.

Acids 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.

Hydrochloric Acid. Looking at your parents doing it usually just burns the eyes and causes temporary blindness.

Acid rain speeds up the weathering and erosion process in rocks. It causes metals to rust. It can burn or even kill living organisms.

An acid burn is a chemical burn; acids have free H+ ions that have a tenancy to attack and burn and sometimes dehydrate organic materials, such as your skin.

Acid is usually at the same temperature as its surroundings. Acid does not burn you because it is hot, but because it causes chemical reactions with the skin. Many acids to release heat when they react, but temperatures usually will not rise above the boiling point of water.

It depends on the type of acid and the concentration of it. Acetic acid diluted as vinegar might just cause some minor irritation, while pure acetic acid can cause a burn scab. Citric acid from apple juice won't burn you, but one drop of sulfuric acid in the laboratory leaves a terrible burn.

What type of burn is categorized as alkali, acid, and organic

acid can burn though wood metal so the acid can burn and burn until it gets down

Stomach acid is a strong acid, hydrochloric acid, and it can burn you even in the dilute form found in your stomach. The stomach is protected from this acid by mucus lining.

Yes, the build-up of lactic acid from anaerobic metabolism causes the 'burn' in muscle groups because the lactic acid has a relatively low pH that irritates the local nerve endings which is then interpreted as pain.

What acid causes heartburn?

because it is an acid

chloride acid

Hydrochloric acid will indeed burn skin. In the stomach, its usefulness is to "burn" (no flames) raw meat to make it digestable.

No. The acid in your stomach is hydrochloric acid. It is strong enough to burn a hole in a rug so if you have acid reflux (heart burn), your esophagus can be actually burned.

pretty much anything. If it can burn through metal, it can burn through alot of stuff. I dont think it can burn through an acid beaker

Yes. When your muscles don't get enough oxygen they must obtain oxygen through a process called lactic acid fermentation. The lactic acid that forms as a result causes a burning sensation.

You can burn fossil fuels, gases and bits of dust go into the air forming acid rain. other gases form smog, which hangs in the air like a cloud.

Many toxic chemicals are released into the air and it causes acid rain. It is also harmful to the person burning the trash and anyone in a close proximity.

Acid Burn - 2010 was released on: USA: April 2010

because it is acid.

It depends on how strong the acid is. But acids that are very strong-- yes, they can burn through clothes.

They are partially made out of baking soda (sodium hydroxide) and it neutralizes acid. Over production is usually what causes an upset stomach or heart burn.

Build up of lactic acid in the muscle tissue. Lactic acid builds up when the muscles are being worked at such an intensity that the demand for oxygen eventually cannot be met, culminating in an excess of lactic acid. The end result is severe burning sensation of the muscles.

It is acid. If it were to get on a cut it will burn.

It would burn as acid is corrosive

Acid rain is related to the release of sulphur dioxide from the burning of coal (which is mostly carbon but which does contain some sulphur) and the industries that burn the most coal are the electrical generation industry, and the steel smelting industry.

The free H+ in an acid solution can break down the organic, inorganic, or otherwise a polymer your clothes are made of. The ions break down the materials your clothing are made of, and simplifies them apart, which causes a hole to be burned in clothing.

Acid reflux causes heartburn and antacids neutralise the acids made by your stomach. One of the problems in using antacids is that even though the acid is neutralized, the damage (burn) remains and the feeling will continue until that heals.

When a minor acid burn occurs, place the affected area under running water. Running water will help to wash off any remaining acid traces and help to soothe the burn.

It depends on the concentration and type of the acid. Acids greater than about 10% can burn your skin. It also depends on the acid and the length of time it is on your skin.

Baking soda works well if you apply it immediately after washing the acid off. If you wash the acid off quick enough you will get no burn.

No, Sulfuric acid cannot burn through a plastic pipette unless it falls on your skin.

Yes,giving too much oranges can cause acid burn in a Guinea Pig.
