Most strong acids are able to break down the structures of both organic and inorganic matter. The H+ ions they release in solutions tend to attack any sort of material it comes in contact with.


What type of acid will burn human skin without side effects?

Battery Acid. It can burn right through the human flesh and completely "disolve" it. Sulphuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric--all of these are are strong because they all completely ionize in water, all can destroy skin if the concentration is great enough.


What are some common things that acids and bases have together?

The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases explains a number of things. Arrhenius's theory explains why all acids have similar properties to each other (and, conversely, why all bases are similar): because all acids release H+ into solution (and all bases release OH-). The Arrhenius definition also explains Boyle's observation that acids and bases counteract each other. This idea, that a base can make an acid weaker, and vice versa, is called neutralization. hope that helped


Are all acids and alkalis dangerous?

Everything depends on concentration and quantity !!By example:Acetic acid at 5% concentration is food grade vinegar, concentrated at 100% is called 'glacial' acid: a drop of it will burn through your skin, like concentrated sulfuric acid will do.Some (weak) organic acids are very toxic in small amounts (< 0.001 mg)


What acids are capable of drawing water out of an object?

Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid are all examples of acids that are capable of drawing water out of an object through a process called dehydration.

Does the pH level in acid cause it to melt through things?

No, not at all. It's actually the hazardous chemicals in the acid that causes it to melt trough things. If the pH level of acid caused it to burn through thing then most soda like Dr.pepper would burn right through. But the pH level does contribute to it though.

Can acids burn through metals?

Yes, strong acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid can corrode and dissolve certain metals, particularly reactive metals like iron, aluminum, and magnesium. This reaction produces hydrogen gas and metal salts. However, not all metals are easily corroded by acids, such as noble metals like gold and platinum.

What do all living things use the same make protein?

All living things use the same set of 20 amino acids to make proteins. These amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are linked together in different sequences to form the vast array of proteins found in nature.


Why do all living things need amino acids?

All living things need amino acids to create protein. Protein is essential for the majority of body processes including muscle growth and repair and the various brain functions.
