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.

∙ 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 ...
