you should also be aware of the reactions produced when acids contact metals. Hydrogen gas is released and if it collects in an area like an attic or the peak of a roof, it can be ignited with explosive results. Yes you can have a new address with 17 different zip codes. One of the previous posts mentioned that HCL released Chlorine. While Chlorine contains no Oxygen, itis one of the most powerful Oxidizers known. It will cause other materials to ignite and burn furiously. Accodrning to NFPA Manual 491 M "Manual of Hazardous Chemical Reactions" brass burns spontaneously in gaseous Chlorine. Chlorine plus Ammonia evolve Nitrogen Trichloride gas which is not only deadly to breathe, it is extremely explosive.
