Hydrofluoric acid ( HF ). This acid attacks glass! so polythene or similar plastic or ceramic bottles or jars may be used for storage.

What is used to contain sulfuric acid?

Sulfuric acid is commonly stored in containers made of materials like glass, plastic, or certain metals such as stainless steel or aluminum that are resistant to its corrosive properties. These containers are designed to prevent leaks or reactions with the acid.


Why acids are kept in glass container?

Acids are kept in glass containers because glass is resistant to corrosion from acidic substances and does not react with the acids, ensuring they remain contained securely. This helps prevent any chemical reactions or leaks that could occur with other materials, such as metal or plastic, when in contact with acids. Glass containers are also transparent, allowing for easy observation of the contents.


How do you store sulphuric acid?

Sulfuric acid should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container made of a chemically resistant material like polyethylene or glass. Additionally, it should be stored separately from incompatible materials to prevent reactions or spills.


What do you store hydrofluoric acid in?

Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is in car batteries. It is a very strong and dangerous acid with a very low pH. This means that it will eat through many things. My guess would be that whatever it is in cars that actually CONTAINS the acid would be able to withstand it.


Why are the wooden shelves on which sulfuric acid is kept stained black?

Sulphuric acid has an extreme attraction for water, and it can pull the hydrogen and oxygen (the component atoms of water) out of a material such as cellulose, which is primarily what wood is made of, and this leaves behind carbon, which is, of course, black. It is equivalent to charring in a fire.

Why ionic solutions are stored in specialized containers?

Which ionic solutions, and what specialized containers? I've seen them kept in you-name-it: volumetric flasks, plastic bottles, glass jugs, pyrex beakers...


Can I use a metal storage container for my food without leaving a bad aftertaste in my food?

Yes. Tin or metal containers can leave a bad taste. Glass is your best option. It doesnt effect the food that is kept in it, and the food smell will not obsorbe into the glass.
