Hi!
I have a question to which I have been trying to find an asnwer for quite a long time, but I can't find any. I did some research at Google, but I couldn't find any satisfactory answer. Maybe it's just that I don't quite understand what they mean.
Anyway, what I would like to know is why nitric acid can corrode copper, while sulphuric acid and hydrocloric acid can't. I too realize it must have got something to do with the, just like it says on wikipedia. The only thing is, I don't know how.
I'd be grateful for a reply.
