Answer to Question #264677 in Inorganic Chemistry for Tim

Question

Differentiate coagulative necrosis and liquefactive necrosis as toxic manifestations when  strong acids and bases are ingested.

Answer 1

Solution.

Diluting necrosis occurs due to strong bases, and coagulation necrosis occurs due to strong acids. Coagulation necrosis remains relatively superficial, while diluent necrosis caused by strong bases will penetrate deeply and "melt" the tissue.

Answer:

liquefactive necrosis occurs due to strong bases, and coagulative necrosis occurs due to strong acids.
