Wash Wounded svrface with Water..
Water acts as Base..
You should NEVER put water on an acid burn. Water may act as a base, but it is in fact slightly acidic itself. If you listened during your chemistry class, you learned that you mix the acid into water, using acid first. If you did it the other way around (using water first) it would cause a sever chemical reaction. Also, there was an accident a few years ago here in America where a girl on a school bus had her head out the window. A chem truck carrying acid had crashed and spilled acid on the road. As the bus when by the scene, some of the acid got on her face and started to burn her face. She then started to cry and her tears made things worse by amplifying the chemical burn. I do agree with the previous answerer in that a BASE should be used to counteract the acid, but it should NEVER be water.

If you come into contact with acid, immediately flush the affected area with copious amounts of water to remove the acid. Seek medical attention promptly. Do not attempt to neutralize the acid without proper training as it can be dangerous.

∙ 13y agoWear safety goggles and clothing. Even if you're handling something that is a weak acid or alkali, it might get into your eyes.
Acids corrodes metals and other stuff so strong acids would definitly harm you if you touch it.
Bases destroy fats and oils, so if your skin absorbs it.... ouch ...
... so taking safety precautions are the best things to do ...

What do you think will happen when an acid and metal come in contact with each other?
When an acid and metal come in contact, a chemical reaction occurs where the metal will dissolve and release hydrogen gas. This reaction is known as a single displacement reaction, where the metal displaces hydrogen from the acid.
When carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric acid?
Fizz. Carbonate mineral are alkaline and these react with the acid to produce a chloride salt and Carbon dioxide gas.
What happends when carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric acid?
The mineral fizzes as it releases bubbles of carbon dioxide.
Does kimberlite react to acid?
Yes, kimberlite does react to acid. The carbonate minerals in kimberlite can fizz or effervesce when they come into contact with acid, indicating a chemical reaction. This reaction is due to the dissolution of the carbonate minerals in the kimberlite by the acid.
What will happen when carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric aci?
The acid will react with the carbonate minerals, releasing CO2 gas, the minerals will "fizz".
