The simplest safety precaution is to pour acid into water and NOT water into strong acids. In case of splash up one is protected by pouring acid into water as what is splashed up will be mostly water while the converse would splash up strong acid onto you.

Other considerations are strong endothermic reactions when pouring these reagents.

What is the first thing you should do when you spill acid on your skin?

The first thing you should do when you spill acid on your skin is to immediately rinse the affected area with copious amounts of water to dilute and remove the acid. Remove any clothing that may have come into contact with the acid and seek medical attention promptly.


Does glycolysis or the citric acid cycle come first?

Glycolysis comes first before the citric acid cycle in cellular respiration. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and breaks down glucose into pyruvate, which then enters the citric acid cycle that takes place in the mitochondria to generate more ATP.


What products are formed when an acid and base are combined?

When an acid and base are combined, they react to form water and a salt. The salt is a compound composed of the cation from the base and the anion from the acid. This reaction is called a neutralization reaction.


Which forms the positive ions in salt the acid or the base?

The positive ions in salt come from the base, not the acid. When an acid and a base react to form salt, the acid donates a proton to the base, forming the salt and water.


How much acid is required to give 18000 gallons of water a 30 percent acid solution?

It will not be accurate, as mixing 1 gallon of acid with one of water will not make 2 gallons. But approximately 7714 gallons of 100% acid would be needed to make a 30% volume/volume acid solution. Your problem now is that very few liquid acids come as 100%, and most that do are very dangerous around water.

Is the outcome of water and bleach salt and water?

When water and bleach come into contact, they do not form salt and water as the outcome. Instead, the bleach reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid.
