Answer
- Methanoic acid is injected into the skin of a person during ant’s The ant sting is acidic and thus injected to the body will create itching and pain. If we add baking soda like bases it will neutralise the acid and the effect of the sting is neutralised
- Methanoic acid is injected into the skin of a person during nettle leaf hair The nettle leaf hair sting is acidic and it will cause itching and pain when injected into the body. When applies base like baking soda it neutralises the effect of the sting by neutralising the acid.
