Question

The label shown above contains information about some harmful effects of acetone.A group of students plans to use acetone to rinse out a glass container. A second group of students is working at the same lab table. Which of the following lab procedures should the second group of students avoid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heating water with an open flame

Explanation:

Remember, we are told in the label that Acetone is a "flammable liquid and vapor." Being flammable means the substance can easily be set on fire, and we would expect an open flame from heating water to trigger an explosion (a disaster) in which the Acetone is set on fire causing life-threatening dangers to the second group of students.
