Why is baking soda applied for relief from the acidic substance in an ant sting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is mildly basic and neutralises the acid

The relevant governing concept is neutralisation: an acid reacts with a base and the acidic effect is reduced. Baking soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate, is a mild base. When applied appropriately, it can react with the acidic material associated with an ant sting and lessen irritation. Thus option A is correct. A strong acid would worsen acidity, while the remaining choices describe impossible effects or the wrong gas-producing process.
