Hi, bloggers! Today, I just learned about strong acids and bases.
Did you know that strong acids and bases can be very dangerous?
Many acids are very strong and powerful.Most cleaners are powerful and could cause burns on the hands and in the eyes. Sometimes someone gets burned with a strong acid or base. What should you do if you or someone near you gets burned?
The first thing you should do is RUN to the nearest faucet or sink and begin to run cold water directly on the burned place. If the burn is and "acid" burn, after all the acid has been washed off, you should immediately wash the burned area with a weak base such as water and ammonia or baking soda and water. This will make sure that all the acid has been completely neutralized.
If the burn is a "base" burn, the same directions about washing the area of the burn with water should be followed However, after washing thoroughly with water a weak acid such as vinegar should be poured onto the burned area. Remember, you must act very quickly so that the acid or base will not be able to burn deeply into the skin!
Proverbs 25:20 says " As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart".

This is very good advice. Thanks for sharing and hope everyone will use it.
