2. Chemical Properties :

It causes swelling of the skin and undergoes free radical products that are highly reactive.
It is irritant when it contacts the skin it breaks down to yield oxygen and benzoic acid.

Explanation:

Benzoyl Peroxide is widely used in industry at large scale.
It is formed when there is a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and benzoyl chloride.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Nickel and carbon monoxide react to form nickel carbonyl, like this:

$Ni(s)+4CO(g)\rightarrow Ni(CO)_4(g)$

At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 2.6 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of nickel, carbon monoxide, and nickel carbonyl at equilibrium has the following composition:

Compound Amount

Ni 12.7 g

CO 1.98 g

$Ni(CO)_4$ 0.597 g
