The pool filled with Hollywood Acid is the go-to Death Trap for any Mad Scientist that doesn't have access to a Lava Pit - usually bubbling a sickly green color, it will melt the flesh off your bones and leave nothing but a bleached skeleton, if that. Can be used both for moats near precarious bridges and lowering heroes into. Acid pools are generally treated as green variants of the Lava Pit and used in a similar manner as obstacles or execution methods. Highly impractical in Real Life due to the nature of acid, particularly if bubbling. Acid is often produced when highly corrosive positive ions are dissolved in water, and they are quite capable of escaping, particularly if in high enough concentrations as to remove flesh from the bone. These remain corrosive and are quite likely to harm anyone nearby, almost like a chemical variant of Convection, Schmonvection. Strong acid is also extremely poisonous to breathe, so the air would be fatal long before its first victim could fall into it, unless it was from a substantial height; and even then it would have a substantial stench even from a great distance, which would drive anyone away if they had a choice. The counterpart on the opposite end of the pH scale is the pool of lye, which shows up typically in industrial vat form. May overlap in video games with Grimy Water. See also Shark Pool. Not to be confused with the band Acid Bath. |

Rick and Morty: "The Vat of Acid Episode" obviously is all about this — the trope is Lampshaded and Rick goes to great lengths to Invoke it. However, the eponymous vat of acid is actually fake. It's a vat of a harmless green liquid (implied to be Mountain Dew) with a breathing apparatus to make sure whoever falls in can stay in there until any witnesses are convinced of their death. There is a supply of bones to help sell the illusion, as well as a laser for destroying any ladles dipped into the vat to test its acidity. A member of the SWAT Team is convinced he's acid-proof near the end of the episode after being splashed by the fake acid. In The Stinger, he goes on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (which was still on the air in that dimension) with a real vat of acid, lowering himself into it with predictable results. | |

The Wild Wild West: The villain of "The Night of the Bubbling Death" has stolen the original Constitution of the United States and hides it in his labyrinthic Elaborate Underground Base. The last obstacle before the room he's put the precious document in is a long corridor the bottom of which is a pool filled with boiling red acid. James West uses a gadget zipline conceived by Artemus Gordon to cross it the second time (for his first time there, he was brought there blindfolded using a removable bridge) to retrieve the Constitution. As expected, the villain dies by falling in the pool. | |

Walker, Texas Ranger: The Ferrelli Crime Family in Season 9's "Saturday Night" uses this method of torture against anyone who refuses to do business with them. A bookie named Ollie Olmedo becomes its first victim during the prologue of the episode, but became the third victim of the pool that month overall, Trivette nearly ends up in it while disguised as a pimp named Luther while the real Luther flees Dallas to Miami (lucky thing one of the enforcers, Eddie Coburn, doesn’t know what Luther looks like, and much to Trivette’s chagrin, his gun was dropped in it), and a possible fourth victim overall nearly ends up taking an acid bath until he is rescued by Gage and Sydney and Eddie Coburn is arrested, but he refuses to talk. | |

Subverted in an episode of Kung Fu (1972), where young Kwai-Chang is ordered by Master Po to cross a plank over an acid pit full of human skeletons, and blind Master Po demonstrates by walking across it himself. Kwai-Chang obeys and walks across the plank, but falls into the pit halfway across — only to find that it's only full of warm water, and the skeletons were made of paper; the "test" was simply a lesson to teach him that "fear is like a magnet" that pulls a man in its direction. | |

Farscape. In "The Maltese Crichton", after being turned into a statue John Crichton is decapitated by a Villain of the Week, who then dumps his head into a pool of foundry acid. Fortunately, the statue was meant to survive 80 cycles of airborne corrosion—someone fishes out the head before there's any lasting damage, reassembles John, and de-petrifies him. In order to lure Crichton out the villain then kidnaps Chiana and has her Bound and Gagged above the acid pool. He suffers a lampshaded Karmic Death when he's thrown into the pool instead. | |

Batman: In Death of the Family, Joker tries to drop Harley Quinn in one. She escapes, and Joker almost falls into it himself! Earlier, in Batman #451 Joker II, a sadistic but rational psychopath, decides to attempt to drive himself insane by diving into the Ace Chemical vats where the original Joker went through. To Batman's horror and a quick chuckle from Joker, whatever is in there has been switched to a significantly more corrosive formula. |

Space Quest: The cave in Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter has a pool of acid with a few stupid actions you can take that result in Roger's death. Fortunately, messing around with this pool is entirely optional. In Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge, there's a death trap in Vohaul's Space Base where the door locks and the floor slowly retracts to drop you into an acid pit. |

Batman: The Animated Series: In "The Man Who Killed Batman", the Joker lowers Sid the Squid into one while locked in a casket. Batman saves him by opening the drain before it melts all the way through. In "Batgirl Returns", Batgirl and Catwoman are captured by Roland Daggett and taken near acid vats. One of them asks if they'll drop them in the acid, but he replies he'll just shoot them and use the vats to dispose of their bodies. |

Plenty of acid drains show up in the later levels of Akuji the Heartless, where the titular hero must jump on floating platforms to cross. Falling into the acid will drain Akuji's life away until he finds a way out, or else he gets dissolved when his life is washed away by the acid and must respawn from the previous checkpoint. | |

In A Study in Murder by Robert Ryan, prisoners in WW1 German POW camp are paying huge bribes to escape. Their deaths are faked, and a coffin with a hinged bottom is lowered into a grave connected to a disused gold-mining tunnel. Dr. Watson suspects the escapees are actually being murdered, and sure enough finds two members of the Escape Committee pushing a large tub of sulphuric acid (used for gold extraction) under the shaft where the escapee is supposed to drop out of his coffin. | |

Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor story "Vengeance of Varos" gained instant notoriety for a scene in which the Doctor is fighting a pair of mooks and (accidentally, though it's hard to see the way it was filmed and cut) tips one of them into a bubbling acid pool, only to watch in horror as the mook he knocked in grabs the other mook and pulls him in too. In "Boom Town", it's mentioned that the Raxacoricofallapatorians use this as an execution method: criminals are lowered into a vat of acetic acid (their Weaksauce Weakness), which is balanced specifically to be just barely strong enough to dissolve the skin while keeping the victim alive for an extended period of time. |

There is also another acid pool in the fountain, and he will fall in if he can't find something to grab onto, like a gargoyle statue. He will also fall into the same pool in other death scenes. |

Deltarune: The Queen's castle in Chapter 2 has some massive pits of (battery) acid, that you thankfully cannot fall into but still need a special pedalo and bridges to cross.

The Brinstar level in the series is set over a gigantic pool of acid that periodically rises up to singe anyone who's too slow to retreat to higher ground. However, you generally can't sink into it. Instead you'll take damage and bounce off the surface (which can be fatal at higher damage percentages, especially in 64). | |

In Breaking Bad, Walter White instructed Jesse to dispose of a body using one of these. He specifically told him to get a plastic barrel that is resistant to the type of acid they'll use, but this part is then ignored and the acid and body are simply dumped in a bathtub. However, Jesse got the material of the bathtub all wrong, and the acid ate right through the bathtub and the floor that it stood on. | |

Super Smash Bros.: The Brinstar level in the series is set over a gigantic pool of acid that periodically rises up to singe anyone who's too slow to retreat to higher ground. However, you generally can't sink into it. Instead you'll take damage and bounce off the surface (which can be fatal at higher damage percentages, especially in 64). The Master Fortress form of Master Core in Smash Bros. for the Wii U is filled with these, and they're actually one of only two things in there that can cost you a life; the other being the acid-oozing walls. Touching either at 100% or higher results in an instant KO, though getting hit even at low percentages can be deadly due to the potential for you to get bounced between the pools and walls repeatedly like a ping-pong ball. |
