Is acid hazardous

Answer 1

It depends on what the acid is and its concentration. But often, yes. A solution that is highly acidic due to the presence of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid or a high concentration of a weaker acid such as acetic acid will likely be corrosive and can cause chemical burns. Some acids such as hydrofluoric acid are also quite toxic apart from their acidity.

In other cases weak acids in low concentrations may be safe; some even safe enough for food and drink. Vinegar, which is dilute acetic acid, can be used as salad dressing. Carbonic acid is found in all fizzy drinks.

Answer 2

Acids can be hazardous if not handled properly. In concentrated forms, they can cause burns or damage to skin and eyes upon contact. Inhalation of acid fumes can also be harmful to respiratory health. It is important to follow safety guidelines and wear appropriate protective gear when working with acids.
