    Christel - since it is, I gather, a very small quantiy of acid - 1/2
    jam jar, you said? 100 ml?, I'd suggest just taking it outside,
    either on the ground or dig a small hole, and turn it upside down
    over night (gloves, etc., of course). Let the acid remove the lid. The
    rule is alphabetical - a before w. That doesn't count flooding,
    though. If you pour SO much water into a small quantity of acid, it
    will overwhelm the problem, mostly of heat. You're talking 100:1 water
    to acid in that case, and fast. A pint of somewhat diluted nitric is
    no match for a garden hose cranked up.
