You might want to wash your fingers under a lot of cold water after that :)
- samatman 7y agoReal talk: don't do this. Instead, wash the affected area with bicarbonate of soda. Then cold water.
- MadWombat 7y agoReal talk it is. "Bicarbonate of soda" is not a thing, either say baking soda or sodium bicarbonate. Sulfuric acid is water soluble, there is nothing wrong with washing it off under running water. There is a bit of a problem if you are washing off a lot of acid (i.e. you stuck your whole arm into a vat of acid) or if you are using a container with water rather than a source of running water. When sulfuric acid gets diluted a lot of energy gets released, so if you have a lot of acid or not enough water, you might get burned before the acid is washed away.
