The fire brigade can use indicators such as the presence of a strong, acrid smell, visible signs of corrosion or chemical burns on surfaces, and a change in color of any spilled liquid to identify an acid spill. They may also use pH strips or meters to test the acidity of the spill as part of their assessment.
What else can I help you with?
What circumstances can you be certain that hazards involving an acid have been effectively controlled?
You can be certain that hazards involving an acid have been effectively controlled when proper storage procedures are followed, appropriate personal protective equipment is worn, and proper spill response plans are in place and practiced regularly. Regular training for handling acids and emergency procedures further ensure that hazards are effectively managed.
What happens when an acid and base combine?
When an acid and base combine, they neutralize each other by forming water and a salt. This is known as a neutralization reaction. The resulting solution will have a pH closer to 7, indicating that the acidity and basicity have been balanced out.
How does the fire brigade clean an acid spill?
The response will be incumbent on the circumstances. But essentially they will "contain and neutralize." Meaning after the scene has been secured, the release is prevented from migrating any further than possible. Let's focus on a liquid spill. Property and lives are protected first, and then consideration is given to sewerage and drainage into rivers and streams. Sometimes the material can "stabilized" in situ, meaning it can be converted from a liquid to a foam or gel. Then having contained the release, crews will neutralize and gather up the material for proper disposal. The response is known as a dynamic response, since although there are specific guidelines, every response is different and must be treated according to circumstances. Another respondant has provided the following general guidelines: Step 1 - Get Away If a hazardous spill is discovered employees should move a safe distance away. Turn off ignition sources and equipment if possible. Step 2 - Identify what you saw Accurately describe what you have just seen. What was it? Was it a solid, liquid or gas? Where was it? Was it raining? Did it have a familiar odour? Step 3 - Get Help Follow company procedures. Notify the key contact immediately and report the details of the spill. Step 4 - Hazard assessment Determine the hazards by obtaining the Material Safety Data Sheets, read labels, identifying signs or Transportation of Dangerous Goods placards. If this becomes necessary responders should assume the worst and use the highest level of personal protection equipment. Step 5 - Alert others and evacuate unnecessary personnel Step 6 - Secure the area and establish spill boundary Step 7 - Prepare a plan of action After the hazard has been identified, the team should prepare an action plan. They should consider environmental conditions such as wind direction, potential for rain, what might happen on site. Prepare for emergency vehicle access. Step 8 - Secure proper equipment and materials Establish levels of personal protection equipment required by determining potential hazards. Choose equipment such as spark proof tools if flammable liquids are involved. Step 9 - Establish decontamination and first aid stations Establish decontamination procedures in the event that someone is injured. Arrange for medical assistance and support if necessary. Material Safety Data sheets will provide health and medical data for the hazardous material. Step 10 - Contain the spill The goal is to limit the spread of contaminant and thus maximize safety and minimize liability costs. Step 11 - Clean up the spill The goal here is to limit the spread of contamination, remove contaminant from protective clothing before removal, and clean equipment. Absorbents used to clean up the spill are often classified as hazardous waste. Absorbed materials have the same properties as the spill material. Absorbents must be properly packaged for disposal according to municipal, provincial and federal regulations. Step 12 - Investigate and evaluate
Why did the sulfuric acid not clear the drain?
The sulfuric acid did not clear the drain because it may not have been strong enough to break down the clog or there could have been a blockage that the acid could not dissolve.
What is the color of the indicator when an excess of hydrochloric acid has been added?
The indicator turns pink when an excess of hydrochloric acid has been added in a titration.

litmus paper and pH scale i am not sure about the rest :)
How many days has the oil spill been?
This depends on which oil spill is being referred to. See related questions.
How many men are there in a brigade?
This would depend on the type of Brigade you are talking about. For Example: A Field Artillery Brigade would consist of two to five battalions. The 17th FA Brigade compliment was three battalions of 155mm M109s, One Lance Battalion and a HQ Battalion. Total number of men 2500. The calvary Brigade is of a similar size. Although Infrantry and Armor (Cavalry) are typically Regiments, they have been called Brigades and have been as large as 5000.
