See Exploits p. 44. If thrown on the ground it bursts and affects a two-yard radius.

Does acid only do 2 HP of damage? How about Liquid Ice? (both, again, may need to be poured, or have the bottle tied to a club and smashed unto the target.)
According to Exploits p. 44, corrosives and contact poisons must strike the target, and Liquid Ice says "on contact", so yeah both these cases would require some clever use on diffuse targets.

I think that a literal reading of the rules says that corrosive and contact grenades don't work on ground-hugging swarms like rats, but this doesn't make much sense, so I would ignore it.
