Why glass can not be attacked by corrosive acids?

Answer 1

Glass.

Answer 2

Glass is composed of a network of silicon-oxygen bonds that are highly stable, making it resistant to most corrosive acids. The amorphous structure of glass lacks the presence of reactive chemical functional groups that can be attacked by acids. Additionally, the lack of crystal structure in glass reduces the sites for acid attack compared to crystalline materials.

Answer 3

It depends. "high temperature acid" are MORE active than its "room temperature" counterpart.

So, you can use some materials at low temperature but not at high ones.

But you asked for a substance IN ABSOLUTE not affected by acids: they exist, but (except glass, very fragile and attacked by HF) generally they are more expensive.

Answer 4

Those metals that are not reactive on the activity series. Some examples would be platinum, gold, silver and Mercury.

Answer 5

Pure gold is not attacked by a corrosive acid.

Answer 6

Plastic and Rubber.

Answer 7

Everything

Answer 8

Glass is a substance that won't be attacked by a corrosive acid.

Answer 9

Not much is immune to all acids. Some people have mentioned glass - well, hydrofluoric acid will destroy that. Some people have mentioned plastics. Polycarbonate is attacked by acetic acid (vinegar), cresylic acid will destroy polypropylene, etc. You have to be more specific regarding which acid you're speaking of for a meaningful answer.
