__ = unusual reactivity with
water
___ - oxidizer

A

Special hazards

W = unusual reactivity with
water

21
Q

Must be preheated for ignition to occur

Must be heated or in increase
ambient temperature to burn

ambient temperatures

Will vaporize and burn at normal
temperature

A

Flammability

22
Q

Increased temperatures makes unstable

Violent chemical change at
increases temperature or pressures

May explodes from increased
temperature or shock

A

Instability

23
Glacial acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric and sodium hydroxide
Corrosives
23
Visible destruction of human tissues (skin and eyes) on contact. Can cause injury on inhalation or contact
Corrosives
24
Interfere with metabolic processes when ingested, inhaled or absorbed through skin
Toxic substances
25
Capable of causing cancer
Carcinogen
25
Chemicals with pH <2 or >12. Separate in organic acids from organic acids. Concentrate acids & bases can generate large amounts of heat when mixed with water
Corrosives
26
Cyanides (perfect toxic agent because it is both colorless and odorless), sulfides
Toxic substances
27
Threshold limit values (TLVs) = safe level of exposure
Toxic substances
28
Benzidine, formaldehyde
Carcinogen
29
OSHA requires monitoring of formaldehyde exposure
Carcinogen
30
Induce genetic mutations
Mutagens
31

Flammables: < ___ F Combustibles: ≥ ___ F
Flammables: < 100 F Combustibles: ≥ 100 F
38
May cause explosion Mixture of oxidizing agents such as peroxides and reducing agents such as hydrogen generates head and may explode
Reactives
39

Reactives
39
Ether, Perchloric acid, Picric acids, sodium azide
Reactives
40
Separate from other acids Picric acids is shock sensitive when dehydrated More powerful than TNT Sodium azide solutions can for explosive lead or copper azides in drains.

42
Which of the following chemicals is capable of causing cancer? a. Glacial acetic acid b. Cyanide c. Benzidine d. Lead
c. Benzidine
43
Xylene, ethanol, methanol, and acetone would be in which hazard class? a. Corrosive b. Flammable c. Oxidizer d. Carcinogen
b. Flammable
44
The flash point of a liquid may be defined as the: a. Minimum temperature at which self-sustained ignition will occur b. Maximum vapor pressure at which spontaneous ignition will occur c. Temperature at which an adequate amount of vapor is produced, forming an ignitable mixture with air at the liquid’s surface d. Temperatures that is 10° greater than the liquid’s boiling point
c. Temperature at which an adequate amount of vapor is produced, forming an ignitable mixture with air at the liquid’s surface
