Toxic means "able to kill". Some acids and some alkalis are toxic, so it can be either.
Concentrated alkali is more dangerous than dilute alkali because it has a higher pH and can cause more severe burns and damage upon contact with skin or tissues. Dilute alkali, on the other hand, is less corrosive and poses a lower risk of harm.
Alkalis are typically considered to be strong bases, which can be equally or more corrosive and harmful than acids. The strength of an alkali or acid is determined by its pH level and concentration.
When there is more acid than alkali, a neutralization reaction occurs where the acid and alkali react to form water and a salt. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat energy, which can cause a decrease in temperature.
Strong acids are strongly acidic. Strong alkalies are strongly alkaline. And both strong acids and strong alkalies are equally corrosive, though I would say that strong acids and more dangerous to handle than strong alkali.
It depends on the specific acid or alkali, as some can be more dangerous than others. In general, strong acids can be more corrosive and damaging to the skin and tissue upon contact, while strong alkalis can also be harmful. Both can cause burns and other injuries if not handled properly.
Sour milk is more acid than nomal milk. Lower pH = acid. Higher pH = alkali.
Alkali because the thin layer of grease around your skin will stop most of the acid but the alkali will eat through it and turn it into soap (that's how you make soap, mix grease with an alkali)and eat through your skin Lollz

detergent is alkali and this can be tested by putting detergent into an acid if it neutralises than it is an acid not an alkali
When there is more acid than alkali, a neutralization reaction occurs where the acid and alkali react to form water and a salt. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat energy, which can cause a decrease in temperature.
As an acid is gradually mixed with increasing amounts of alkali, the pH of the solution will increase. Initially, there will be a neutralization reaction where the acid and alkali will react to form water and a salt. If more alkali is added than needed to neutralize the acid, the pH of the solution will continue to increase, becoming more basic.

because an alkali can be found in everyday household use like milk or toothpastes would know if it was an acid because it would be harmful and dangerous (well some ) alkali can be dangerous but not all of them are otherwise we would all be sick by now from using toothpaste,washing up liquid and so on .
No - they are equally harmful.It has to do with the corrosiveness and toxicity of the product in question. An alkali can be every bit as hazardous as most acids - with the exception of hydrofluoric acid, which is in a league of its own.Easy examples:I have a container of sodium bicarbonate solution with pH of 9, and a container of dilute hydrochloric acid with pH of 3. Sodium bicarbonate is a benign alkali - people drink it all the time and put it in food - and the HCl is fairly potent. In this case acid is more dangerous than alkali.I also have a container of dilute vinegar with pH of 6, and a container of sodium hydroxide solution with pH of 14. In this case the alkali is far more dangerous.
