Safety
You should always take care in the laboratory, but strong acids and alkalis are particularly dangerous. Take care with chemicals carrying CLP/GHS international chemical hazard labelling.
Acids, bases and salts - (CCEA)Safety
Many chemicals are acidic, neutral or alkaline. We can distinguish one from another using indicators. Acidity and alkalinity are measured on the pH scale. A salt is formed when an acid is neutralised by an alkali.
