Best Answer

Sulfuric acid is a very strong acid, but it is nowhere near the strongest kind of acid.

Hydroflouric is so corrosive it eats through glass and can liquefy your bones. A carbonic superacid would eat a hole through your hand with just a single drop. Sulfuric acid is considered the "strongest and most corrosive" acid because it is just available often.
