Benzene is an important organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6 and a ring structure. Benzene was not provided as a contaminant during the general chemistry lab because, it is does not have the same chemical composition like the other two chemicals, that is, toluene and melthyl benzene. Also, due to the nature of benzene, it does not remain in the environment for a long time, thus it will be difficult to measure and isolate it. Also, benzene is a toxic compound and it poses a threat to the safety of the lab users. Benzene has been classified as a known carcinogen.

Benzene, also known as the chemical formula C6H6, PhH, and benzole, is an organic chemical compound which is a colorless and flammable liquid and has a sweet odor.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Benzene consists of 6 carbon atoms that form a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached to every 1 carbon atom. Benzene is a type of cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with a fixed pi bond. Benzene is one of the components in petroleum and is one of the most basic petrochemical ingredients and solvents that are important in the industrial world. Because it has a high octane number, benzene is also an important mixture in gasoline. Benzene is also the basic ingredient in the production of medicines, plastics, gasoline, artificial rubber, and dyes. In addition, benzene is a natural content in petroleum but is usually obtained from other compounds contained in petroleum. Because they are carcinogenic, their use other than non-industrial fields is very limited.

The use of various organic solvents in industry, for example, benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX) is used as a glue, solvent, paint, and others. The use of toluene as a solvent for paints, thinners, inks, glues, additives for cosmetic products, the pesticide industry, crude petroleum, disinfectants, the plastics industry, and synthetic fibers.

The route into the body can be through three mechanisms, namely inhalation (inhalation), ingestion (swallowed), and direct contact through the skin. Organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX) are volatile, often BTX vapors are inhaled by workers who do not use personal protective equipment.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

$94 per share

Explanation:

Stockholders Equity Includes the Add-in-capital par value, Add-in-capital excess value of Common and Preferred, Net income accumulated value and dividends.

Equity of the firm = Assets - Liabilities

Equity of the firm  = $125 million - $25 million = $100 million

Net Addition in the equity = Net earning for the period - Dividend paid

Net Addition in the equity = $10 million - $4 million - $6 million

Book Value of the equity = Equity of the firm - Additions in the year

Book Value of the equity = $100 - $6 = $94 million

Book value per share = Book Value of the equity / Numbers of Share

Book value per share = $94 million / 1 million

Book value per share = $94 per share
