In case of accidental contact with chemicals, how long should the eyes be flushed at the eyewash station

Chemistry
1 answer:
FromTheMoon [43]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The duration of flushing the eyes at the eyewash station in case of accidental contact with chemicals depends of the nature of the chemical.</em>

If the chemical is known to be a <u>non-irritant or mild-irritant</u> one, a <u>5-minute </u>washing time is recommended as the first aid. before seeking the help of a physician,

For <u>moderate to severe irritant</u> chemicals, an immediate <u>15-20 minutes</u> washing period is recommended before seeking further medical help.

For <u>corrosive and strong alkalis</u> chemicals, <u>30 and 60 minutes</u> washing are recommended respectively before seeking the attention of a physician.

However, if the nature of the chemical is unknown,<u> a minimum of 20-minutes washing is generally recommended</u> as first aid before seeking immediate medical help.

Identify the balanced chemical equation that represents a single displacement reaction. CF4 2Br2 ⟶ CBr4 2F2 3H2SO4 2Al ⟶ Al2(SO4
Simora [160]

Answer:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃  → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

Explanation:

                           3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃  → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

In this type of reaction, one substance is replacing another:

                      A + BC  →  AC + B

In a single displacement reaction, atoms replace one another based on the activity series. Elements that are higher in the activity series. Also, if the element that is to replace the other in a compound is more reactive the reaction will occur. If it is less reactive, there will be no reation.

In the first equation, fluorine is more reactive than bromine. Therefore, bromine cannot replace bromine.

In the second equation, the displacement is between hydrogen and aluminium. Hydrogen is lower in the activity series, this implies that aluminum will replace it.
