Q

A person who gets battery acid in an eye should IMMEDIATELY wash the eye with what liquid?

🔍 Key Concepts

• First aid for chemical eye injuries (especially strong acids and bases) • Difference between neutralizing a chemical vs flushing/diluting it • Why some household liquids can be more irritating or reactive in the eye

💭 Think About

• Think about what first-aid guidance usually says to do IMMEDIATELY for any chemical splash in the eye, even before you know exactly what the chemical is. • Ask yourself which option is safest to use directly in the eye without needing to mix precise concentrations. • Consider whether trying to chemically "neutralize" the acid in the eye could be more risky than simply diluting and washing it out.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which of the choices is non‑reactive and safe to put into the eye in an emergency? • Which liquids listed might cause additional chemical reactions with battery acid? • In standard first-aid guidance, what is the recommended universal first response for chemical eye exposure?
