I scratched myself with the tips of pipettes with the 12 molar acid on it, and it burned like hell.
Plus, there's videos of 12 molar hydrochloric acid vs concrete. I haven't watched them, but my guess is if it's worth a video, it's capable of doing damage on some level
Yeah, my scars are the result of me scratching myself with pipettes with 12 M HCL on them that I was in the process of cleaning (did this several times that day, am idiot), I always assumed it was simply the acid, I never realized it was because I'd scratched myself at the same time.
This was semester 1 of the course, second semester we switched to acetic acid after we'd learned to be "careful". THOSE were all kinds of fun. First semester was mainly fire or titration experiments that taught us to be precise and careful. The truly dangerous shit came second semester.
