Question

After taking your biology exam, you return to your car only to find that you had left the lights on and now the car battery is dead. Your friend offers to jump-start your car, but when you go to hook up the jumper cables you find that the battery terminals are covered with corrosion due to battery acid condensation. Based off your knowledge, what substance could be used to clean the corrosion?

Answer 1

baking soda

Step-by-step explanation:

The car's battery is dead when the car's light are remained on for a long time. And also the battery terminals are covered with corrosion due to condensation of the battery acid.

Baking soda helps in removing the acid condensation from the battery terminals. By mixing baking soda with hot water and applying the solution over the battery terminal and scrubbing them with a soft brush will remove the acid condensation from the terminals.

Thus baking soda is the substance that can be used to clean the acid corrosion.
