Study Notes
Acids and Alkalis
- Acids and alkalis are two groups of hazardous substances.
- They differ from each other, but are both irritant or corrosive.
- Both react with substances (including skin) to produce new substances, causing dissolution.
- This dissolution makes it seem like the acid or alkali is "wearing away" the other substance.
Safety Precautions
- To prevent accidents when dealing with corrosive chemicals, always wear safety goggles.
- Immediately wash away any spills with plenty of cold water.
