Acids and bases are important in both industry and our daily lives. However, they can also cause some problems:

• Corrosiveness: Acids can hurt materials and create safety risks.
• Neutralization: When you mix acids and bases, it can create dangerous reactions if not done properly.

In our everyday lives, we see acids and bases everywhere:

• Cleaning: Many cleaners at home have acids or bases in them. It’s important to use them carefully so you don’t get hurt.
• Food: Acids can change how food tastes, but they might upset sensitive stomachs.

To stay safe, it's key to learn how to handle these substances properly. Also, clear labels on products can help. Learning about the pH scale (which ranges from 0 to 14) can help us understand what levels are safe for different uses.
