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 oxides which alters the acid characteristics making it useless....

Which statement best describes the pH of pure water?

Ray Of Light [21]

The pH of pure water is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Water is one of the most important constituents of living being. It is said that there is no life without water. So that water need to neutral in nature to save life. Pure water is composed of hydronium $H^{+}$ and hydroxide $\left(O H^{-}\right)$ ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of $1 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}$ .

Similarly, the hydroxide ions which are basic in nature will be in same concentration as that of hydronium ions. So, as the concentration of basic and acidic elements are equal with the same strength of pH, the combination of these ions lead to formation of pure water with the pH being neutral.
