Question 2663. Acid is an example of _____________
  1.    Corrosive waste
  2.    Infectious waste
  3.    Radioactive waste
  4.    Ignitable waste
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Corrosive waste
Acids are substances that give up Hydrogen ions in solution. Acids are corrosive to metals while releasing Hydrogen gas, have a pH between 0 and 6.9 and are sour to the taste. There are many common substances that are acids: lemon juice (citric acid), vinegar (acetic acid), stomach acid, and soda pop (carbonic acid).
