Acid itself does not typically melt glass, as glass is generally resistant to most acids. However, certain strong acids, like hydrofluoric acid, can react with silica, which is a major component of glass, leading to its etching or degradation rather than melting. In general, while acids can damage glass over time, they do not cause it to melt like heat would.

Does ice melt faster in a room temperature glass or in a frozen glass?

Ice will melt faster in a room temperature glass compared to a frozen glass. The room temperature glass provides a warmer environment for the ice to melt quicker, while the frozen glass will keep the ice colder for longer, slowing down the melting process.
