Which treatment is most logical to get relief from the acid present in an ant sting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Applying a baking soda paste

The acidic effect of an ant sting can be reduced by neutralisation with a mild base. Baking soda, or sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃), is mildly basic, so a paste of it can help counter the acid. Therefore, option A is correct. Lemon juice and vinegar are acidic, and dilute hydrochloric acid is also an acid, so none of them would neutralise the acidic effect. Exam tip: for an acidic sting or substance, choose a suitable mild base.
