Explanation:
It is known that when acid is stored in a metal container then there occurs a chemical reaction between them.
During this chemical reaction there will be formation of a metal salt along with liberation of hydrogen gas.
For example, when HCl is stored in a zinc container then the chemical reaction which takes place is as follows.
[tex]2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) \rightarrow ZnCl_{2}(s) + H_{2}(g)[/tex]
So, in order to avoid this type of chemical reaction we do not store acids in metal containers.
Answer:
No we can not store acids in metal container
Explanation:
We can not store acids in metal containers as acids easily reacts with metals. When acids react with metals it forms salt and leave hydrogen gas
For example when hydroelectric acid (HCl) react with sodium metal (Na) it forms salt (NaCl) and liberate hydrogen gas
[tex]2HCl+2Na\rightarrow 2NaCl+H_2[/tex]
This is the reason we can not store acid in metal container
