Answer 1:
Acids aren't exactly causing rust, since rust
requires oxygen, rather than hydrogen. Stronger
acids will corrode faster than weaker acids,
barring unusual circumstances (e.g. hydrofluoric
acid is actually a weak acid, but the fluoride ion
is so corrosive by itself that it's actually a
good deal more dangerous and corrosive than
hydrochloric acid, which is much stronger as an
acid).
