General safety precautions to be taken when handling acids

Principle

Concentrated acids decompose natural substances and are highly corrosive (e.g. in contact with metalls). When handling with acids safety precautions must be maintained. In this experiment students examine the effect of concentrated acids in contact with meat, paper and other materials. Students learn which protective measures they have to observe when handling with concentrated acids.
