The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) sets standards for CCl4 in air at 12.6 mg/m^3 of air (a time a

verage over 40 hr). The CCl4 found in a sample is 4800 ppb. Does the sample meet the NIOSH standard?

Answer:

No, it doesn't.

Explanation:

To convert ppb to mg/m³ we first need to convert to ppm, by just divide the amount by 1,000, so the concentration in the sample is 4.8 ppm.

mg/m³ = (ppm x molar mass)/molar volume

Using the molar mass in gram and the molar volume in liters, multiplying by the parts per million, we will get the concentration in mg/m³.

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol; molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Molar mass of CCl4 = 12 + 4x35.5 = 154 g/mol

Assuming, 25ºC and 1 atm, the molar volume of an ideal gas is 24.45 L, so:

mg/m³ = (4.8 x 154)/24.45

mg/m³ = 30.2

Which is higher than the limit of 12.6 mg/m³

Are all acids dangerous? Give at least two examples to show what you mean.
juin [17]

Answer:

Laboratory acids are far too dangerous to taste, but you will have swallowed some dilute weak acids. Acids have a sour taste, like vinegar, which contains ethanoic acid, and lemons, which contain citric acid. These are safe to use in food, but they can still hurt if they get into a cut or into your eyes.

Explanation:

They can safely be consumed and do not irritate the skin. However, at greater concentrations weak acids can be harmful. Acids can react violently with water and are harmful in the presence of moisture in the mouth or eyes or in proximity with other aqueous solutions.

hope that helps!

Are the chemical reactions that take place when a battery connected endothermic or exothermic
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The answer is endothermic as the heat flows into the system from the surroundings. The products are at higher energy than the reactants, as they have absorbed energy.
