No, it is basic, but is just as dangerous as a strong acid.
'Lye' has NO constituent acid. The name 'lye' is an historical and trade name for sodium hydroxide (NaOH) Sodium hydroxide is an Alkali (Soluble Base). However, Lye (sodium hydroxide) will react with acids to produce an 'chemical salt' and water/
LYE is a BASE . More correctly an Alkali ( Soluble Base) . The name 'Lye' is an historical and trade name for Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH).
muriatic acid is the common name for HCl or hydrochloric acid. In most cases, it is a lower grade of HCl. Not as pure or as concentrated as a Lab grade or better HCl.Lye is the common name for NaOH or sodium hydroxide
I believe you mean lye (with an L). Lye can be either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, both of which are strong bases.
NaOH, or lye. They form NaCl and H2O, or salt and water.
Lye is a strong base.
Lye (sodium hydroxide) is a stronger base than battery acid (sulfuric acid) in terms of chemical strength and aggressiveness. Lye is highly caustic and can cause severe burns on contact with skin, while battery acid is corrosive but not as immediately damaging.

salt and water.
Yes, but not for the same purposes that you use lye for. Lye works because it is alkaline, while citrus is acidic.

Lye is the most acidic among the substances mentioned. Lye is a strong alkaline substance (pH 14). Ammonia is also alkaline but less strong than lye, and cola is slightly acidic due to its carbonic acid content.

NaOH, or lye. They form NaCl and H2O, or salt and water.
Battery acid is Sulfuric acid and Drano is 54.2 %Sodium hydroxide Sulfuric acid is a strong acid which can damage skin and your eyes. Drano is 54.2 % Sodium hydroxide which is lye. Lye is used to make lye soap. Lye reacts with oils and fats to make soap. You have oils on your skin.
water is neutral. ammonia and lye are alkaline. cola is acidic due to the presence of carbonic acid and other acidic ingredients.
