Chemistry's most dangerous game of "technically correct"! π§ͺ Sure, HCl + NaOH β NaCl + HβO is just salt water on paper, but that reaction is VIOLENTLY exothermic - releasing enough heat to boil that innocent-looking water and splash concentrated acid/base everywhere before neutralization! The glass would probably shatter from thermal shock too. That's like saying "technically a grenade is just metal and chemicals." I mean, you're not wrong, but I wouldn't recommend holding one while it does its thing! π¦π₯
