Consider the acid spill. It is already starting to do nasty things to, say, the floor or counter. So you grab the bottle of 10% NaOH and pour some on the spill. All of a sudden, you get a great deal of heat, and you don't have any visual evidence whether your put on too little or too much. But you have added more liquid to the spill, generated more heat, and will get more damage. You have made a bigger mess, and if you added too much, you then have a neutralization problem to deal with.
And if it is something like a strong sulfuric acid solution, adding sodium hydroxide solution will be extremely exothermic, and you could get some really nasty results.
So now approach the spill with a handful of baking soda. You sprinkle it on the spill. It fizzes, and carbon dioxide is given off. That actually, in a very tiny way, moderates the temperature of the neutralization. And you can keep adding baking soda until the fizzing stops, and then perhaps some water to mix everything well. But what you have done is kept the volume to a minimum, added a neutralization agent that has a visible endpoint (no more gas being given off), and you don't suddenly have a huge amount of highly basic solution because you added too much.
And what is also nice about baking soda is that you can toss some with your hand or even with a spoon, and get some distance from the spill. With a liquid, you have to get much closer
i hope this helped..
From the calculations, the concentration of the acid is 0.24 M.
<h3>What is neutralization?</h3>
The term neutralization has to do with a reaction in which an acid and a base react to form salt and water only.
We have to use the formula;
CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB
CAVANB =CBVBNA
The equation of the reaction is; 2NaOH + H2SO4 ----> Na2SO4 + 2H2O
CA = ?
CB = 1.2 M
VA = 50 mL
VB = 20 mL
NA = 1
NB = 2
CA = CBVBNA/VANB
CA = 1.2 M * 20 mL * 1/ 50 mL * 2
CA = 0.24 M

The reaction between K₂SO₄(aq) and SrI₂(aq) produces KI(aq) and SrSO₄(s) as products.
The reaction is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)
To balance the equation both side of the reaction should have same number of atoms in each element.
Right hand side of the reaction has 1 K, 1 I, 1 Sr, 1 S and 4 O atoms while 2 K, 2 I, 1 Sr,1 S and 4 O present in left hand side of the reaction.
Hence, number of I atoms and number of K atoms are not balanced.
To balance the K atoms we should add 2 before KI. Then I atoms will be 2 at the right hand side.
Hence, the balanced reaction equation is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → 2KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)
