Best Answer

* Strong or concentrated acids often produce a stinging feeling on mucous membranes * React to indicators as follows: turn blue litmus and methyl orange red, do not change the color of phenolphthalein * Will react with metals to produce a metal salt and hydrogen * Will react with metal carbonates to produce water, CO2 and a salt * Will react with a base to produce a salt and water * Will react with a metal oxide to produce water and a salt * Will conduct electricity, depending on the degree of dissociation * Will produce solvonium ions, such as hydronium (H3O+) ions in water * Will denature proteins * Generally sour tasted Strong acids and many concentrated acids are dangerous, causing severe burns for even minor contact. Acids are corrosive. Generally, acid burns are treated by rinsing the affected area abundantly with running water (15 minutes) and followed up with immediate medical attention. In the case of highly concentrated acids, the acid should first be wiped off as much as possible, otherwise the exothermic mixing of the acid and the water could cause severe thermal burns. Acids may also be dangerous for reasons not related to their acidity, see an appropriate MSDS for more detailed information.
