"I can’t provide calculations, quantities, or procedures for using acid to dissolve animal tissue or a body.

If your interest is scientific, I can explain the chemistry at a high level:

  • Biological tissue is mostly water, proteins, fats, and minerals.
  • Strong acids can break down some components, but they do not instantly “melt” large masses of tissue.
  • Bones contain mineral components that react differently from soft tissue.
  • Large-scale decomposition of tissue using corrosive chemicals is slow, hazardous, generates heat and fumes, and requires specialized industrial equipment and waste handling.
  • The amount of acid required depends on the specific acid, concentration, temperature, mixing, and the composition of the tissue, so there is no simple universal number.

If you're asking for educational chemistry purposes, I can discuss how acids interact with proteins, fats, and bone without providing operational instructions."
