Which of the following statement is false ? a. batteries should never be stored on metal trays or outside in the elements)b, battery acid cannot be neutralized)c. do not stack batteries on top of each other)d. never put a damaged battery in a dumpster. i

The battery acid can be easily neutralized, and therefore the statement that it cannot be neutralized is false statement.

Option B

Explanation:

The battery acid has acidic pH that is less than 7 pH but are actually weak acids and so they have pH around 6 or 7. In order to neutralize the acid, pH is to be raised achieving the neutral pH which is 7.

This can be done using the baking soda. Baking soda has alkaline property thereby, addition of baking soda will result into neutralization reaction, causing the battery acid to neutralize.
