    Lrn2 Acid/Base

    Acid in this game is said to be about 2 on the Potential Hydrogen scale

    its 2 because it can't kill Diamond

    Hydrofluoric Acid can eat through glass as heard in this video here:

    No it can't, according to Corning Inc. It can through plastic. That's why they use it in science.

    you don't know what acid it is in the first place.

    Correct, but most acids cannot eat away at glass. Hydrofluoric in most concentrated forms cannot get through glass.

    If it's a bug then Simon will fix it. For now, it's probably best that we don't argue about it.

    the idea is that this Acid is known as just Acid, and for all we know it is a very strong acid

    even though your acid has been diluted or titrated, there is still HF in there, meaning it does eat away at it.

    Wow, I stand corrected. I was talking about hydrochloric acid. Not HF Acid.
