Because acid does not react with glass, glass isn't contaminated by anything, and if it is you can see it. Glass also is clear so you can see what kind of chemicals are inside. And used over plastic because some acids react with plastic and plastic is not as clear when it needs to be as thick as glass does.
What else can I help you with?
Can concentrated nitric acid be stored in an aluminium vessel?
It is not recommended to store concentrated nitric acid in an aluminum vessel as nitric acid can react with aluminum, forming aluminum nitrate and liberating hydrogen gas, which can be hazardous. It is best to store nitric acid in containers made of compatible materials, such as glass or certain types of plastics.
Can you use caustic acid to clean stains on and inside glass bottles?
Caustic acid is not typically used to clean glass bottles as it can be too harsh and corrosive, potentially damaging the glass. It is safer to use milder cleaning agents specifically designed for glass, such as white vinegar or glass cleaners.
If you where to store sulfuric acid in a container out of a steel can glass jar or a plastic bottle which one would be most likely to corrode?
Sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and can react with many materials. Steel cans are the most resistant to corrosion from sulfuric acid, followed by glass jars. Plastic bottles are the most likely to corrode when storing sulfuric acid.
Why are reagent bottle made of glass?
Not all reagent bottles are glass. Bottles for Hydrofluoric acid are plastic-- it will eat through glass! Some Reagent bottles are polypropylene. The glass-stoppered ones that used to be some common in labs were because they didn't have the plastics they do now. Many nasty acids, like concentrated Nitric, will dissolve most bottle caps--rubber, cork, steel, etc. The loose ground-glass stoppers are inert to most acids and alkalies, and also don't contaminate the reagent. Picric Acid, for example, used to be readily available; it wasn't too corrosive but would produce a sensitive high explosive if exposed to copper and some other metals.
What acid cannot be kept in glass containers?
Hydrofluoric acid is an acid that cannot be kept in glass containers because it reacts with silica in the glass to form silicon tetrafluoride and water, weakening the container and potentially causing it to break. This reaction can release toxic fumes and lead to leaks.

Why are acids kept in glass bottles not in metal bottles?
cause acid has a chemical reaction with metal.

Will muriatic acid etch ceramic tile?
No muriatic acid cannot etch ceramic tiles because it does not corrode or react with glass or ceramic. That is why muriatic acid is also available in glass bottles.

Sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and can react with many materials. Steel cans are the most resistant to corrosion from sulfuric acid, followed by glass jars. Plastic bottles are the most likely to corrode when storing sulfuric acid.
Why were carboys more dangerous for transporting concentrated sulfuric acid?
because carboys is made up of glass

What is the difference between a concentrated acid and strong acid?
Concentrated acid means there's a lot of it; that is, a high concentration. By convention, "concentrated" means "straight out of the stock bottle," for some acids this is nearly pure and for others it's not (phosphoric acid is typically supplied as a solution that's about 70% w/w phosphoric acid, for example). Lab bottles labeled "dilute" usually contain a 6M solution unless otherwise specified. Strong acid means that it fully dissociates in water (at least the first proton, for multiprotic acids). Strong/weak and concentrated/dilute are completely different scales that have nothing to do with each other. * 18.3M sulfuric acid is strong and concentrated * 6M sulfuric acid is strong and dilute * Glacial acetic acid is weak and concentrated * 6M acetic acid is weak and dilute
What is a chemical reagent of NaCl?
concentrated nitric acid concentrated sulphuric acid
What symbol a concentrated acid be?
A concentrated acid is typically represented by the symbol "H+".
Is concentrated sulfuric acid a liquid?
Yes, concentrated sulfuric acid is a liquid.
