Soap is a salt of carboxylic acid (fatty acid) in acidic medium soap forms the corresponding fatty acid which is almost insoluble in water so soap does not work properly.
Running water and soap. The water will help dilute and rinse off the acid, while the soap will help neutralize it. If available, use a neutralizing solution recommended for acid exposure.
The chemist will use 100 liters of the 80% acid solution and 100 liters of the 30% acid solution to make a 200-liter solution that is 62% acid. The amount of acid in the 80% solution will be 0.8 * 100 = 80 liters, and in the 30% solution, it will be 0.3 * 100 = 30 liters.
To calculate the amount of pure acid in the solution, you can use the formula: amount of pure acid = volume of solution * concentration of acid. In this case, it would be 860 mL * 0.19 = 163.4 mL of pure acid in the solution.
When soap makers make soap, they use acid in the process. However during the saponification process the harmful acid combines with the fats to form soap. In cold process soaps you need to let your soap cure, during that process the dangerous unreacted lye that may be in the soap converts to soap, thus it would be safe to use after aprox 2 weeks.If you are using Melt & Pour Soap, all lye (acid) converts and reacts with the Oils since heat is used in the soap making process. The Melt & Pour Soap is ready for use immediately after being made.
Adding sodium carbonate powder to an acid solution will cause fizzing or effervescence due to the reaction of the acid with the carbonate. This can help identify the presence of an acid in the solution.

Wash the acid with water only, no soap is required. Acids are water soluble, and do not need soap to dissolve them.
Oleic acid is not soluble in water, so it will not mix directly. To create an emulsion, you can use a surfactant like soap or detergent to help disperse the oleic acid in water. Alternatively, you can first create a solution of oleic acid in an organic solvent like ethanol, then slowly add this solution to water while stirring to form an emulsion.

Mixing a pH solution with soap may cause a change in the soap's effectiveness. Extreme pH levels can alter the soap's ability to lather or clean properly. It's important to use soap within its recommended pH range to ensure optimal performance and skin compatibility.
Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid and is created by diluting concentrated acetic acid 20 fold to create a 5% acid solution.
You can use a pH-paper.
Physical decontamination
Adding sodium carbonate powder to an acid solution will cause fizzing or effervescence due to the reaction of the acid with the carbonate. This can help identify the presence of an acid in the solution.
If the soap is fully and completely water soluble, its chloride content can be precipitated by adding silver nitrate solution to the soap solution, and the amount of silver chloride solution used until precipitation ceases measures the content of sodium originally in the solution. There are also many other analytical methods available.
