Answer 1

Answer:

Statement (i) is correct while statement (ii) is incorrect

Explanation:

First statement is correct as we use toothpastes to neutralise the acids present in our mouth after eating food. This toothpaste contains mild bases such as baking soda to neutralise the mouth.

However, an alkali is a water soluble base, not an acid.
