it sounds...faster? So, it's got that going for it (which is nice)
Not necessarily! Could be juuust strong enough to sear the exterior of your body and slowly dissolve you over days.
If it was that weak it you would drown long before being dissolved
Probably not enough volume to engulf you and make you drown. Usually stomach acid is strong enough to irritate but not dissolve a whole prey, so those two are out. However accidental inhalation and fumes might be a motherfucker and getting it into the eyes would be horrendous.
Two possible scenarios:
Suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.
Crushed to death by the stomach. It is conceivable that this baby (slaps roof of the dinosaur) can crush large prey to death in the stomach and grind it to small bits by having an especially strong muscle lining.
