When I say new age metal I mean metalcore (Bands-All That Remains, Killswitch Engage), death metal (Beneath The Massacre, Cannibal Corpse), groove metal (Chimaira, Lamb Of God), and the like. Many people are disgusted at them but I prefer them to the classic types of metal...power metal and other genres like it. I'd just like to know why so many people diss new age metal.
Dude, this is chemistry man, it doesnt actually melt through. Ok, battery acid is Nitric Acid. Its probably not that high concentrated so its not that corrosive Depending on what metal you r using, if u r using iron or steel, i think it will probably rust it.
Batteries contain metal so I doubt it. It might corrode some metals eventually, but nothing like the blood of the alien from Alien.
Plain old batteries such as AA and 9V batteries don't actually contain battery acid. For this reason they are called dry cell batteries. Batteries in cars and trucks are called wet-cell batteries and contain sulphuric acid, which can 'melt' through many everyday metals such as zinc and iron.
Battery acid H2SO4 is a strong acid in aqueous solution, but it is not a strong oxidant, like HNO3. Therefore, the metals which are more reactive, as those from groups 1 and 2 will react promptly, but the others will not. Copper, for instance, requires to be oxidised from Cu(0) to Cu(II) to dissolve; some softer metal, such as iron,aluminium, and so on will dissolve in H2SO4. Since the dissolution involves either reaction to form H2 from the H(+) of the acid, or oxidation from the reduction of the anion SO4(2-) to SO2, a table of oxi/reduction potentials will be helpful for you to decide which melts which.
