Answer:

They must be enclosed in explosion proof housing or general-purpose housing (as per NEC Regulations)

Explanation:

It is important to know what are Class I, Division 1 and 2 locations.

Class I: includes those industries or places where flammable gases exists and there are chances of explosions.

Division 1: Those places where hazard can happen under normal operating conditions

Division 2: Those places where hazard can happen under abnormal conditions.

The conventional relays, contactors and switches cause arcing when they operate and this is a completely normal phenomenon but with respect to these categories, it is very dangerous to operate such electrical devices without any precaution.

Therefore industries are required by the regulatory authorities to install  explosion proof housing to enclose conventional relays, contactors and switches to avoid any explosion or hazard. General-purpose housing can also be used given that it follows the regulations provided by the NEC or any other regulatory authority.

Which of these chemical equations demonstrates the law of conservation of mass as it applies to the combustion of ethane? A. 2 C
WINSTONCH [101]

A. 2 C₂ H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 C O₂ + 6 H₂ O


according to law of conservation of mass , the total mass of reactants side must be same as the total mass of product side. so we need to check if each atom in the equation has same number on both side of the equation or not.

in this equation , we have

4 atoms of carbon left and 4 atoms of carbon on right

12 atoms of hydrogen on left and 12 atoms of hydrogen on right

14 atoms of oxygen on left and 14 atoms of oxygen on right
