Krish Acids Vs Alkalis Alkaline substances are

safer than acidic
substances no matter the
ph.

Why Bases are safer than Acids

Acids are very corrosive, and so are alkalis, alkaslis are used in soap, soda,
etc. Acids can cause fatal injuries and can kill, not the ones such as citrus and
cyder. They are very weak acids so you can consume them, other acids can
literally kill you in seconds. Such as Sodium cyanide. But many say that alkalis
are much stronger than acids because of the basic terms they know such as
bleach and caustic soda. Which are dangerous appliances to be used with
caution.

Acids are known to be dangerous, but alkalis are much stronger in terms of ph.
But there are some alkalis like bleach that are very corrosive. Alkalis are much
stronger in this case as there are more strongly corrosive alkalis and they can
cause serious wounds and injuries. They can be treated but just at the right
time if you’re not slow. But Acids have done more wounds to people as they
have entered people's eyes. And multiple people have gotten affected
because of the same reason, but alkalis can make them go blind. I’m not
saying that acids can’t either, but alkalis are most likely to make someone go
blind if they get some alkalis in contact with their eyes.

Many say that both are very dangerous but also say that alkalis are not
helpful, which is not true, they are both dangerous but alkalis are used to
neutralise the acids in your stomach, if you don't eat a lot the acid starts
eating up your stomach. And it's in a tablet, so alkalis are quite helpful in fact,
they also help us be hygienic, soap is also an alkali so alkalis are useful in
many ways.

They can also get into accidents, as a senior in a school told a primary student
that in the cup there was soda, and when he drank it was Acid. And of course,
he died. If you drink a very strong alkali with a Ph of 14. You will experience
irritating throat pain, and calcium will start forming in your pipes, and you will
have these symptoms. Difficulty in breathing, Hard to swallow food and throat
pain. And there is also a specific type of alkaline water with a ph of around 7 -
8.5. It’s known to be very healthy for kids and helps them be more active. Not
your day Pepsi!

All in all, I think we can agree that Alkalis do help us more than just be a
hazard to children, they help us neutralise the acids in our stomach, and they
help us be hygienic. And also found to be used in some home remedies to
clean wounds and make them heal.
