Air Reactivity
|
|
|

Catalyst
|
|
|
|
Caused when two or more chemicals, or the chemical and its container are INCOMPATIBLE.

Chemical Interaction
|
|
|
|
REACTIONS are caused by both elements ad compounds to make new substances with their own physical and chemical properties.
|
Chemical Reactions
|
|
|
|
Describes a substance's propensity to release energy or undergo change.

Chemical Reactivity
|
The ability for a chemical to create a reaction.

|
Halogenated Hydrocarbons
|
|
|
|
Minimum temperature to which a material must be raised before it will ignite.
|
Auto-Ignition/Ignition Temperature
|
IGNITE.
|
|
|
Controls chemical reaction.

Inhibitor
|
Inhibit - limit, block, or decrease the action or function of; "inhibit the action of the enzyme"; "inhibit the rate of a chemical reaction"
|
|
|
The MAXIMUM STORAGE TEMPERATURE that an organic peroxide may be stored safely.

|
MSST
|
|
|
Tendency or ABILITY of two or more liquids to form a UNIFORM BLEND or DISSOLVE in each other.
|
Miscibility
|
|
|
|
The NUMERICAL MEASURE of a solution's hydrogen ion concentration in relation to its ACIDITY or alkalinity.
|
pH
|
1-7: acid
7: neutral 7-14: base |
|
|
Materials in which carbon atoms are linked by only SINGLE covalent bonds.
|
Saturated Hydrocarbons
|
S-S
Single :: Saturated |
|
|
At least one multiple bond between two carbon atoms somewhere in the molecule, which causes them to be more hazardous.
|
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
|
|
|
|
Contain the benzene "ring" which is formed by six carbon atoms and contains double bonds. Its greatest hazard is Toxicity.
|
Aromatic Hydrocarbons.
|
|
|
|
Pourable mixture of a solid and liquid.
|
Slurry
|
|
|
|
The ability of a substance to change from the solid to the vapor phase without passing through the liquid phase.
