Polystyrene/styrofoam resistance to acids
Hallo, I read on some literature that polystyrene/styrofoam has a 'B' rating when it comes to resisting the main three acids: HCl, H2SO4 and NO3.
What I can not find is if this means that this squeaky packaging material either dissolves slowly over say 24 hours, or if it contaminates the
solution.
I wish to place it in Copper chloride solutions where HCl is active.
I see that it does not react but that in itself does not tell me if ity is reacting microscopically so to speak and will contaminate the solution.
thankyou.

Chymical Pulverization.’ (John Friend, Chymical Lectures London, 1712)
