Explanation:

AAAAAAAAA

Answer 2

The assertion and the reason are true.

• If a few drops of strong acid unintentionally spill into a student's hand, immediately wash the hand with lots of water and apply a paste of sodium hydrogen carbonate. Because of the acid's corrosive nature, a strong base cannot be employed to neutralize it.
• Water dilutes and washes away the acid. Sodium hydrogen carbonate or baking soda will be used to neutralize any leftover acid. This will reduce the acid's impact and skin damage.
• If we use a strong base despite water and baking soda paste, it will cause corrosion and skin injury.
