Correct answer: A. Hydrofluoric acid
- A. Hydrofluoric acid
- B. Dilute HNO3
- C. Dilute HCl
- D. Dilute H2SO4

Hydrofluoric acid attacks glass by reacting with its silica, so glass-lined vessels are unsuitable for HF service. Glass linings generally resist dilute mineral acids such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acid much better.
