Can HFO3 acid be contained?
Hydrofluoric acid is used to etch glass, so it cannot be stored in glass containers, but it can be stored in polyethylene and Teflon containers.
What does Hydrofluoric acid do to glass?
Hydrofluoric acid desolves glass because of its high reactivity towrds the glass. Because of this reason, it is usually stored in plastic containers.
How is bromine stored?
in glass containers
What acid cannot be kept in glass containers?
Hydrofluoric acid ( HF ). This acid attacks glass! so polythene or similar plastic or ceramic bottles or jars may be used for storage.
How is cesium stored?
Cesium is stored ins sealed glass containers filled with argon.
Can HFO3 acid be contained?

Why acid stored in glass containers rather than in plastic?
Acids are typically stored in glass containers because some acids will destroy plastic vessels.

Why should liquid medication be stored in glass bottles?
Medications stored in glass containers are usually liquid. These medications are better stored in glass due to how they sometimes react to the plastic of the other containers. Also, some of these glass containers are known to be darkened, in order to help preserve the medication in the bottle.
How is cesium stored?
Cesium is stored ins sealed glass containers filled with argon.
Can hydrobromic acid be stored in plastic containers?
Yes, it is possible.
Why are acids not stored in metal containers?
Many acids react with most metals, often producing soluble substances. Acid + metal --> salt + water. This 'eats' away at the container and causes it to leak. Glass (almost always) and polythene are unaffected by acids. However, before the advent of polythene, concentrated sulfuric acid was stored in lead vessels.
What is used to contain sulfuric acid?
Sulfuric acid is usually kept in glass containers.
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.
What property prevents hydrofluoric acid from being stored in glass?
Hydrofluoric acid easily react with glass.
