Acid-spitting dragons

I did a lot of research and asking questions about dragons' breathing ability:

• if there was a dragon that spits pyrophoric liquids like a spitting cobra

• A tiny fire-breather

• can any animals (example dragons) can synthesise pyrophoric subtances and contain it in a special sac (like tert-butyllithium)?

Here's what I found

• using pyrophoric subtances : impossible

• using two chemical reactions like a bombadier beetle: impossible

• using flammable subtances and sparks by either electric or metallic

  May work, but can only be used once and having that kind of stuff may or may not be impossible

I can see how breathing fire sounds a little more far fetched so my only theory is that dragons in real life are able to spit acid

Let's say that this dragon sprays acid like a spitting cobra, and it spits for defense.

What kind of acid, or maybe enzyme, can a dragon spray that's strong enough to feel like it's fire?
