Answer:

a. Yes, it is flammable.

b. It can cause hazard and carcinogenic effect.

Explanation:

A. Yes, the vapor in the vessel is flammable because it is an organic solvent with a very low boiling point. For this reason, less energy can vaporize it. Therfore, a little high temperature or energy causes it to be very reactive and flammable.

B. - Being flammable makes it hazardous, that is, it is capable of being ignited and can burn easily, which makes it really dangerous.

- It results in carcinogenic effect on the body. Substances that cause carcinogenic effect are capable of increasing the risk of cancer. They might contain compounds that can initiate tumor.

When the temperature is high, the risk of explosion increases. Due to the fact that at higher temperature, the kinetic energy of the atoms which result in an increase in the volume and finally blasting of the vessel.

Which of these elements has an atom with the most stable outer electron configuration? * Cl Ca Ne Na
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.

Answer: shining a bright light on the object and testing for decomposition

Decomposition is the separation of a molecule into its elements or simpler compounds.

And a chemical property is the ability of a substance to combine or to become one or more substances.

Then, testing the ability of an object for decomposition is testing a chemical property.

EastWind [94]

Increasing the pressure on a reaction involving reacting gases increases the rate of reaction. Changing the pressure on a reaction which involves only solids or liquids has no effect on the rate.
