What effect will battery acid have on the rubber hoses in your car?

Sulfuric acid attacks and degrades Buna-N rubber. As to the possibility it can damage a rubber hose, I would not take any chances. Rinse all spilled electrolyte off the area you spill it on thoroughly. You can also pour some baking soda on the area to neutralize the acid.

How do you get acid off of a car battery?

Pour a solution of water mixed with baking soda on the battery, let it sit for 5 minutes, and then wash it off with plain water. The baking soda will neutralize the acid.


What influences the amount of voltage that comes out a fruit?

The voltage of any electrochemical cell is entirely dependent on the two different electrode materials, not the type of electrolyte.Take the same electrodes and put them in anything containing an electrolyte: e.g. any fruit, a potato, salt water, baking soda solution, vinegar, and you will get the same voltage from the cell.The relevant property of the electrode materials is called electronegativity.


How do you get butter off tiled floors?

Try a degreaser after you have wiped up as much as you can. If you have baking soda, a solution of that should do the trick. (BTW I once spilled cooking oil on the floor)


Can you add a liquid soluble like baking soda water solution to a car battery while the clamps are still locked?

I am assuming you are talking about cleaning the top of a lead-acid battery. I am also assuming that the "clamps" are the battery terminals that clamp onto the battery posts with a pinch bolt. If this is the case then... Yup, In fact we do it all the time. There is bound to be a bit of "stray" voltage between the battery posts when the battery top is wet, however it will be pretty minimal. Just be sure to that no baking soda gets inside of the battery cause it will neutralize the electrolyte (acid) in the battery. Thouroghly rinse and dry the battery top afterwards and coat the terminals with a good corrosion prevenative spray. Hope this helps.

Does pouring coke on car battery get rid of corrosion?

It will help, but a much better solution is to remove the battery cables, clean the connections and then use baking soda to neutralize the corrosion.


What should you do if a battery explodes?

There are battery explosions and there are battery explosions. If the battery is a small cell, wash yourself (or anyone else exposed) with water immediately. It might then be best to either wash down the area with water or to use absorbent material to clean up the mess. Should you have any baking soda available, put some in the water so any affected person can was off immediately. If it is a lead acid battery that exploded, the best solution is lots of water to wash off and dilute the electrolyte. It's acidic, and it burns. Baking soda sprinkled liberally around at the same time is also good as this will actually neutralize the acid. The first order of business is to get wet yourself if you have any of the acidic electrolyte on you. Second, you'll want to hose down the area and use the baking soda to dilute/neutralize the acid to prevent further damage. People first, property and material second. A call to summon help would also be wise, particularly if someone gets electrolyte in the eyes. Immediately rinse with lots of water and make the call for assistance.
