Practical Organic Chemistry question

2020 · 2 Sep · Shift 2 · Q17

JEE MainChemistryPractical Organic ChemistryMCQ+4 / −1
If you spill a chemical toilet cleaning liquid on your hand, your first aid would be
  1. A
    aqueous NaOH
  2. B
    aqueous NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​
  3. C
    aqueous NH3NH_3NH3​
  4. D
    vinegar

Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the nature of toilet cleaning liquid

    Most chemical toilet cleaning liquids contain strong acids such as hydrochloric acid. Therefore, if it spills on the hand, the chemical burn is likely due to an acidic substance.

  2. Principle of first aid for acid spills on skin

    For an acid spill, we should use a mild base to neutralize it safely. A strong base is avoided because it can itself cause injury.

  3. Check the options

    • A: aqueous NaOH
      NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}NaOH is a strong base. It is corrosive and unsafe for skin first aid.

    • B: aqueous NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​
      NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}NaHCO3​ is a weak base and is commonly used to neutralize acid safely.

    • C: aqueous NH3NH_3NH3​
      Aqueous ammonia is basic and can irritate/burn skin; not preferred for first aid.

    • D: vinegar
      Vinegar is acetic acid, so it would worsen an acid spill.

  4. Conclusion

    The best first aid is aqueous sodium bicarbonate.

B: aqueous NaHCO3\boxed{\text{B: aqueous } NaHCO_3}B: aqueous NaHCO3​​

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = B
    Derived answer = B
    Hence, they agree.
