"The corrosive effect of alkalis is much more dangerous to humans than that of acids, because human skin itself contains an acid and is therefore more accustomed to acids. Even a splash of diluted caustic soda in the eye can cause blindness. Alkalis feel soapy and taste bitter."

Can anyone help me with a redox equation? I would post it if I could. I would be very grateful.
What happens to the double bond between the O atom and the C atom in the glucose ring formula? Which O atom is located at one corner of the ring?
Hello! In my physics assignment, the question was whether an aircraft weighing 85 tons, 42 meters long, and with two engines capable of achieving a thrust of 92 kN, could take off from a 2,900 meter runway. The appropriate calculation shows that the aircraft would only need a 2,800 meter runway. However, our teacher said…
Hairdressers use alkalis to create perms. This takes advantage of the alkali's ability to cause hair to swell. Acidic liquids reverse this effect. As a hairdresser, you often deal with alkalis and acids. a) Give the technical name for the reaction that can be used to render excess base safe. Describe this process using a…
Hi, I just learned in school that air has mass because it isn't nothing. The mass of the entire atmosphere is 5×10¹⁸ kg. There is a load of about 10 tonnes per square meter. This raised a lot of questions for me: How is that possible? How was that measured? When we weigh something, we…
It is a widespread error that only acids have corrosive action.
In fact, some alkalis in their corrosive action are as strong as some acids.
And in their effect on the human body, alkali etching is sometimes even worse and more long than that of acids.
Lucks can do this depending on the strength. In human skin, they are even much worse than acids. Acids adhere the cell material in particular to the proteins, so that the acid can then separate itself from the healthy tissue and cannot penetrate further into the depth.
Lucks liquefie the tissues because they dissolve the cell wall (colliquation necrosis) . If a lye comes to the skin, then it keeps getting deep. It doesn’t stop until the material is consumed.
In both, of course, the respective strength and quantity decides about the damage.
