I’m pretty sure they are, but it depends on which acids. Some acids have a really high or low ph that can burn through items, like our stomach acid. Instead, something with a high melting point would be used.

Answer:

Metal containers are not used for storing acid because most of the time acid reacts with almost every metal and produces salts or oxides which alters the acid characteristics making it useless....
