I’m pretty sure they are, but it depends on which acids. Some acids have a really high or low ph that can burn through items, like our stomach acid. Instead, something with a high melting point would be used.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Metal containers are not used for storing acid because most of the time acid reacts with almost every metal and produces salts or <em><u>oxides</u></em> which alters the acid characteristics making it <em>useless.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

The theoretical yield of ammonia in an industrial synthesis was 550 kg, but only 480 kg was obtained. What was the percentage yi
Klio2033 [76]

We know that when calculating percent yield, we use the equation:


Percent yield=\frac{Actual yield (A)}{Theoretical yield (T)}


Since the quantities that we are given in the question are equal, we can just directly divide them to find percent yield:


Percentyield=\frac{480kg}{550kg} =0.8727*100=87.27


So now we know that the percent yield of the synthesis is 87.27%.

How many ribs does grandfathers skeleton have
Harrizon [31]
Same as a normal human would have. 24 ribs or 12 pairs of ribs in each side. There is no discrepancy in the number of ribs whether the human is old or young; male or female (contrary to the unpopular belief that a male has an extra pair of ribs).
