Flammability

Question#1 “Signal words are a single word used to place emphasis on the relative level of hazard and alert the reader to a potential hazard they may encounter” (Haight, 2012, p. 114). The signal words used are danger, warning, caution, and notice. Danger “Danger indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury” (Haight, 2012, p. 114). Example: MIL-PRF-680, Type II Warning “A warning indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury” (Haight, 2012, p. 114). Example: Clorox Original Bleach Caution (with the safety alert symbol) “Caution indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate” (Haight, 2012, p. 115). Example: All-Natural Flea & Tick Shampoo Caution (without the safety alert symbol) “This form of caution is used to address practices not related not related to personal injury” (Haight, 2012, p. 115). Notice “Notice is used to address issues not related to bodily injury” (Haight, 2012, p. 115). Question#2 (168) 1. Pictogram Health Hazard: “Carcinogen, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity, Respiratory Sensitizer, Target Organ Toxicity, Aspiration Toxicity” (Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA], n.d., pg.1) Chemical: MIL-PRF-680, Type II, cleaning agent Signal word: “Danger” Hazard statements: “H304 May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways; EUH066 Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking” (Chemetall, 2010…

In countries such as the United States of America and European countries, fabric softener is widely used and have reported several incidents with fire. On June 27, 2012 a nine year old girl's nightgown caught on fire that lead to second and third degree burn on her body. The fire investigator suspected that the liquid fabric softener from downy is related to the fire. Though big company manufactures like Proctor and Gamble Co. says nothing about the flammability of their product the U.S.…

liquid A in it and when I lit the part that had the liquid on it on fire, that entire part was surrounded by a relatively strong blue flame. I mainly think that liquid B is actually Dihydrogen Monoxide (water) instead of any other liquid mainly because of the boiling point which is about 100°C and also how back in 5.1 part E, the water was kind of foggy plus it smelled like burnt rubber. That was exactly what happened to us with liquid B in sludge. The same EXACT characteristic properties match…

The Case of Negligent Tort On April 23, 2015, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on Roberta Roller Rabbit Children’s Pajama Sets due to a violation associated with the required Federal Flammability Standards. The Recall number is 15-122, according to the Consumer Product Safety Division the product does not meet the Flammable Fabrics Act, “The children’s pajama sets fail to meet federal flammability standards for children’s sleepwear.”(www.cpsc.gov 2015). The Consumer…

Calcium is a metal. The properties of metals is that they are “good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable (they can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (they can be drawn into wire). Most of the metals are solids at room temperature, with a characteristic silvery shine.” Physical Properties Each element has physical and chemical properties. A physical property is any property any property you can see. For instance, some of Calcium physical properties are : “ color is Silvery-white…

the very beginning of the book where the author talks about how he first got into science. When the author was very young, he was sick for almost all of third grade. As a result, he stayed home with his mother constantly checking his temperature. Several times he would drop the thermometer out of his mouth and it would break, and he could watch in awe as what he calls “The coolest element” dissipate on the floor. He eventually grew a love for this sight to the point where he was doing it on…

The cinnamaldehyde and water distillate was obtained from the previous lab session and was observed for changes. The oil was on the bottom of the flask. The distillate turned clear when initially it was white. The distillate still had a cinnamon smell. The cinnamaldehyde was now to be extracted from water using an organic solvent. To choose the right solvent for the experiment, the organic solvent must meet certain criteria. It must be miscible with the substance extracted (in this case,…

of the polymer determine the physical and chemical properties of acrylates and methacrylate ester polymers. Sparking crystal clarity, weather ability and film formation properties of acrylics are superior to most other plastics. Largely, the property of acrylic polymers depends on the nature of the alcohol radical and the molecular weight of the polymer. As the molecular weight is increased the mechanical properties of acrylic polymers improves. They also have good electrical and chemical…

will be more energy produced in the process of a chemical breakdown. Therefore I believe that the alcohol with the longest chain of atoms will be the first to fully combust when subjected to heat. Many factors contribute to the rate at which alcohol burns and one of which is Van der Waals dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions, these remain relatively similar between each alcohol. As Van der Waals dispersion forces increase the length of hydrocarbon chain also increases equally, the…

Essentially, they are considered ubiquitous organobromine compounds that have a hindrance effect on combustion, and reduce flammability. About 30 percent of flame retardants contain this compound. One of the reasons that brominated hydrocarbons are most effective, is partially because of its chemical properties such as, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, DecaBDE, OctaBDE, and PentaBDE. These chemicals are much safer than the ones used in the other compounds. “The health hazards of these chemicals…
