Melting a sock with sulfuric acid! This video demonstrates how sulfuric acid reacts with your clothing. We took a sock and placed it on a plate of sulfuric acid. Within a matter of three minutes the sock was melted down to an awesome glob of goo. Sulfuric acid is not something you want to spill on your clothes. This video demonstrates the importance of wearing proper safety equipment. To save our viewers some time we cut the video down to less then a minute in order to show the full reaction.
