Can acid melt metal?
Don't confuse the process of melting, which is caused by heat, with the process of dissolving, which is caused by solvents such as acid. Acid can dissolve metal, but it does not melt metal.
How does an acid and a base usually taste?
if u taste acid your mouth and stomach will basically melt =/
Can you melt a broken drill bit in aluminum using sulfuric acid?
Sulfuric acid does not melt metal, it oxidizes it and dissolves it. Aluminum will react with sulfuric acid, but because of the protective coating of aluminum oxide the reaction is extremely slow.
Does sulphuric acid melt metal?
No. Sulfuric acid oxidizes metals to produce sulfates. Melting is a process tha metals undergo when heated.
Will coke melt a penny or nail?
Coke will not melt a penny or a nail; that process would involve heat. Instead, the acid from the soda may oxidize some of the metal atoms in the penny and the nail, causing them to become ions and soluble. The some of the metal will dissolve, causing the penny or nail to become pitted and tarnished. However, these objects will not melt.

What type of acid do you need to melt metal?
Acids don't actually melt metal, they oxidize or corrode them. Usually producing the corresponding metal salt and hydrogen gas. Most strong acids (hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, perchloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids) will oxidize metals in this manner. Some weak acids such as hydrofluoric acid can oxidize metals. Some metals, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals will react with virtually any acid and even water. Nitric acid can oxidize copper, which normally doesn't react with acid. Aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid will oxidize gold and platinum, which are usually considered immune to corrosion.

Does lead have acid and can it melt metal?
Lead is a metal. Metals react with acids to form salts. Metals can be used to make alkalies, but not acids.

How do you defeat metal Mario?

What can corrosive acid do?
corrosive acids can melt any metal as they easily react with them evolving hydrogen gas and forming the corresponding salts.
