There are many acids which may react with the metal...

If they react,then the metal may lost its lustre,strength etc.

In short, the reaction of the metal with the acid is not desirable..Hence the metal cleaner must not contain the acid.

Amino acids not manufactored by the body?

Our body needs twenty two amino acids and can manufacture some of it. There are some amino acids that cannot be manufactured by our body and therefore must be obtained from our diet. Proteins contain combinations of different amino acids.Some of them contain all amino acids required by the body

How many amino acids completes protein?

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.


A compound must have at least one metal atom and one non metal atom?

No. Chemical compounds contain two or more different elements. H2O is a compound that does not contain a metal.There are many other examples, all the organic compounds for instance.


What do chemical formulas for acids have in common?

Possibly nothing, depending on which definition of "acid" you use. All Bronsted-Lowry acids must contain hydrogen, but many BL bases do as well, so that's not necessarily as useful as might be hoped.

What metal is acid resistant?

Depends on what metal and what acid. Most common metals can be attacked by some type of acid. Other more rare and exotic metal are more resistant. Gold Platinum are resistant to almost all acids except for a mixture of Nitric and Hydrochloric acid (aqua regia) and in the case of platinum the mixture must be hot. Tungsten and Tantalum are also in this category. The only metal that is completely resistant to all acids at any temperature is Iridium, a platinum group metal. So the answer would be Iridium.
