Glass is soluble in A. H2SO4 B. HClO4 C. HNO3 D. HF

H2SO4
HClO4
HNO3
HF

The correct answer is D. HF.

Glass is a non-crystalline solid made from silica, soda ash, and lime. It is typically hard and brittle, and does not dissolve in water. However, it is soluble in hydrofluoric acid (HF). This is because HF can break down the silica in glass, forming silicon tetrafluoride and water.

The other options are incorrect because they are not strong enough to break down the silica in glass. H2SO4, HClO4, and HNO3 are all strong acids, but they are not as strong as HF. They can dissolve some types of glass, but they will not dissolve ordinary glass.

In addition, HF is a very dangerous substance. It is a corrosive acid that can cause serious burns to the skin and eyes. It is also a respiratory irritant and can cause damage to the lungs. It is important to handle HF with extreme caution and to wear protective gear when working with it.
