The substance that would be most effective for neutralizing battery acid.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In the pH table, the pH of battery acid is 1.5, that is, battery acid is highly acidic.
Among the other substances given in the table, ammonia has the highest pH, 12, which makes ammonia highly basic.
To neutralize a strong acid, a strong base should be used.
Thus, ammonia could be used to neutralize battery acid.
Conclusion: Of the given substances in the table,ammonia would be most effective for neutralizing battery acid.
