The stomach lining secretes a thick layer of mucus that helps protect it from the stomach acid. Aspirin, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen etc (but not Tylenol/ acetominophen) decrease the production of this mucus and so can lead to stomach upset and inflammation and occasionally ulcers.

Acids can cause burns due to their corrosive properties. When acids come into contact with skin, they can react with proteins and fats in the skin tissues, leading to tissue damage and irritation. This can result in a burning sensation and potentially severe chemical burns.

Why do some acids not contain oxygen?

Some acids do not contain oxygen because the acidic properties are due to the presence of hydrogen ions. For example, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid but does not contain oxygen. Acids can also be defined based on their ability to donate protons, regardless of the presence of oxygen.


Why are some acids dangerous?

Certain chemical properties make an acid dangerous. For e.g., sulphuric acid has the property of absorbing water. Thus when it spills on the body, it can cause severe burns. Nitric acid similarly is an oxidizing agent. It reacts violently with the skin, muscles and bones to cause lethal damage. Certain other organic acids like citric acid, malic acid, acetic acid (in little concentrations) are not harmful and are edible. They are found in fruits.
