What is the safest an acid or an alkali?

Answer 1

It depends on the strength of the two chemicals. Vinegar, lemon juice and full strength muriatic acid are all acids; baking soda solution, borax solution and lye solution are all alkalis. Muriatic acid and lye solution are both dangerous; the other four are safe--three of them are safe enough to drink.

Answer 2

Generally speaking, alkalis are considered safer than acids. Acids tend to be more corrosive and can cause chemical burns, while alkalis are more caustic and can cause irritation. However, the safety of an acid or an alkali depends on factors such as concentration and the specific chemical involved.

Answer 3

Neither!!!

It depends on the pH

low pH are very strong acids . High pH are very strong alkalis.

pH's of 6,7,& 8 are probably the safest.
