How do you clean up a concentrated sulfuric acid spill?

Answer 1

Neutralize the acid with sodium bicarbonate. (baking soda) Continue to add sodium bicarbonate until the fizzing stops. Scoop up the mess into a plastic container or bag and throw it in the trash.

Answer 2

If the quantity is small it can simply diluted with large amounts of water. For larger quantities, a base such as sodium barcarbonate is often used. The acid and the bicarbonate combine to form water.

Answer 3

By dilution with at least 100 times more IN ONE TIME.

So use 100-500 mL water for each millilitre, don't use wrapping papers or sponges: they will be 'burnt'.

Please use rubber handgloves and eye - or face protection! (You should have been wearing them from the moment you started to open the concentrated acid glass container anyhow).

Answer 4

pour some baking soda on it and let it dry

Answer 5

Dont try to wash it with water or cleaning with cloth just put some Alkaline material on it as first aid and later leave lt to the doctors.

Answer 6

Use baking soda to neutralize the acid then clean it with soap and water.

Answer 7

A hydroxide is useful, as Ca(OH)2.
