Question

7. In comparing hydrochloric acid (pH 1) and sodium hydroxide (pH 13), is one more dangerous than the other? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hcl is more dangerous than NaoH in equal concentrations

Explanation:

This is because Hydrochloric acid produces toxic fumes which can lead to breathing difficulties while Sodium hydroxide does not produce these fumes easily.

Hcl produces a very burning sensation when it touches the skin while NaOH produces a milder sensation due to it having a soapy feel.
