“Imagine that Chinese ships were to start importing arsenic* into England, advertising it as a harmless, foreign and fashionable

luxury. Next, imagine that after a few years of arsenic being all the rage, with hundreds of thousands using it, the British government were to ban its use because of its bad effects. Finally, imagine again that, in opposition to this ban on arsenic, Chinese ships were to be positioned off the coast of England, making occasional raids on London.
Advocates of the opium-smuggling profession argue that it is immensely profitable and that supplying opium in bulk as they are doing is not immoral and it only becomes vulgar when the opium is sold in small portions, to individual users. What admirable logic with which one may shield oneself from reality, satisfied that the opium trade is nothing more than ‘supplying an important source of revenue to British companies operating in India.’

The trade may be a profitable one—it may be of importance to the Indian government, and to individuals— but to pretend that it can be defended as harmless to health and morals is to argue the impossible. Anyone who seriously thinks about the subject cannot defend what is, in itself, manifestly indefensible.”

*a poisonous substance

Technician A says most shops use a spray wash cabinet to degrease their engine blocks. Technician B says some shops dip their ma
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

While technician B is only partially correct, the statement of the technician A is completely true. Most shops use a spray wash cabinet, which is similar to a dishwasher that contains a strong soap and hot water solution. The solution is sprayed at parts, that are placed on a turntable, under high pressure, successfully removing oil, grease, and dirt.

As the technician B stated, some shops dip major engine parts in a hot caustic solution (but not a cold one). This method is called hot tanking, and although it cleans the engine parts well, it rarely removes all of the rust and oil paint. Due to environmental issues, this method is being used less and less.

17. A toxin increases from 12 ppm to 48 ppm. What percent increase is this?
OLga [1]

Answer:

In order to express the results as a percent, divide the nutrient content (which is expressed in ppm) by 10,000. For example, if the reported value for P2O5 is 2,690 ppm, the calculation to convert to percent would be: 2,690 ppm ÷ 10,000 = 0.269%.
