Acid digestion is necessary to dissolve metal samples for analysis. Most lab chemistry involves dissolving a salt with water or organic material with solvent to obtain a known volume solution for chemical analysis. Metals will not dissolve in water or organic solvents, therefore acid digestion is a method of dissolving the metal into solution, which can then be analyzed by laboratory methods to determine the amount of metal or element present. Acid digestion is simply adding acid to the metal sample and heating until it appears the solid metal has fully dissolved. This sample can then be diluted down with an acid/water mixture and analyzed against an acid/water background solution for comparison.

Hydrochloric acidThe parietal cells of the stomach produce H+ and Cl- ions separately, forming hydrochloric acid (HCl), which, along with potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl), comprises gastric acid. Hydrochloric acid is concentrated in the stomach (pH of 1-2), making the stomach a very acidic environment in which certain enzymes can function to digest proteins. See the related links below for more information on hydrochloric acid and its role in digestion.
