With all due respect it is valid to question your motive; although it could be you want to remove some finish coat that exists?

Certainly it can be resealed, after thorough washing; and the finish could be like it is on the floors of HD or Lowes; etc. If Tiling over is your intent; the roughing would help adhesion a bit; but isn't neccesary.

If you perform an acid wash to instructions it will not turn the entire slab to powder.

If your notion is to add concrete over; why bother with an acid wash in the first place; and "SKIMMING" will put you in a far less satisfying position; eventually.

I would NOT acid wash a concrete floor. The smooth finish you have on your floor is the slurry that was worked to the top when the floor was poured and finished. Acid washing will break that finish down and can leave it with a very rough surface. Salt does the same thing; It is known as spawlling and cannot be reversed. Concrete, believe it or not is very porous and the acid will work into the pores and continue to break it down. Why are you trying to acid wash your floors?

Why are you acid washing? This is only done when you want to prepare the surface for another topping of some kind to rough up the surface to increase adhesion. Acid will pit your floor and make it harder to clean the next time around. It is not a good choice for degreasing. Their are products for that as well as products for killing algae, etc.

no -- but u shud treat the floors with an epoxy to stop the etching form the aid -- just remember this will make the floor slippery when you clean it
