Terminology Flashcards
CAUSTIC
PH “greater than” 7 in a standard state
Acid
PH “less than” 7 in standard state
AIR REACTIVITY
“React or ignite” if exposed to air
AUTO REFRIGERATION
rapid release of a liquified gas, cooling liquid state
BIO AGENT
Bacteria, viruses, fungi, other microorganism
BIO TOXINS
Molecules, peptides, proteins capable of disease
BLOOD AGENT
Affects body functions preventing oxygen to tissues
BOILING
“Temperature” changing liquid to gas
CATALYST
“Initiates or accelerates” a chemical reaction
CHEMICAL CHANGE
“Molecular level” new substance
CHEMICAL INTERACTION
Two or more chemical “incompatible”
COMPOUND MIXTURES
Elements that “bond together”
CONCENTRATION
Acid or base compared to the amount of water
CRITICAL TRMPERATURE
Minimum temperature gas can be liquified no matter the pressure present
CRITICAL PRESSURE
Pressure that “brings gas to liquid”
CORROSIVE
Substance deteriorates in presence of another substance
DOSE
Amount material body exposed over specific time frame
DOSE RESPONSE
Reaction to dose in the body
EXPANSION RATION
Gas produced by liquid volume at a given temperature
FLASH POINT⚡️
Vapor concentration forms an ignitable mixture with air. “Won’t continue to burn”
FIRE POINT
“Support continuous burning”
FLAMMABLE RANGE
Difference between upper and lower flammable limits
Dissociation
Separation of substance into two or more simpler substances, atoms, ions by heat or chemical process
