Chemical And IH Calculations Flashcards
What is constant speed of gravity for calculations?
9.8 m/s (2) squared/exponent
Three primary parameters of electricity
Voltage: Difference in electric potential energy between two points per unit electric charge…measured in Volts Current: A flow of electric charge, measured in Amps Resistance: Measure of how difficult it is to pass an electric current through a conductor, measured in Ohms
A substance with a pH >7 is considered a ?
Base or Alkaline
Electric Power:
The rate of doing work, measured in Watts (W)
Toxic Equivalency Factor (TEF):
Developed by WHO Compares all toxins to the most toxic dioxin TEQ= sum of (concentration of substance x TEF of substance)
Classification of Fire: cooking oils and fats
Class K
The process of determining the currents through and voltages across all the elements in network.
Circuit analysis Some methods include circuit calculations, voltage division, current division, loop analysis, and mesh analysis
Ohm’s Law states that:
Current is directly proportional to voltage Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R) V= I x R
The flammable range of a mixture of gases in the air can be calculated using ___________ ?
Le Chatelier’s mixing rule
A substance with a pH < 7 is considered ?
Acidic
Fire Triangle Components? Fire Tetrahedron Components?
Triangle: oxygen, fuel, heat Tetrahedron: oxygen, fuel, heat, and chain reaction
