The above statement is true.
Acids corrode numerous types of metals through various chemical reactions. Some metals are more susceptible to corrosion, although not all react with acids. For example, electrochemical reactions cause metal corrosion in acidic environments. Mineral acids are acids created from chemical compounds. Because of their severe metal reactivity, these acids cannot be kept in metal containers.
