- Yes. It will be in its flammable range to ignite since 7.8% lies within the flammable range of alcohol which is 3.3% to 19%.
- The vapor density of alcohol in air will rise since it is less dense than air.
- Since ethanol is less dense than water, it will form an upper layer on top of water and will continue to burn.( Doolittle, A. 658).
- If heat is added to the ethanol, the vapor pressure will rise since there will be an additional energy to drive the molecules.
- The material with the highest flammable range is the isopropyl alcohol (2.0-12.7).Flammable range of 10.7.
- If Benzene is missed with water I will expect to see two layers since Benzene is an immiscible liquid.( Wittcoff, M, 4).
- If Benzene has more than one layer then Benzene will be on top since it is less dense than water. The specific gravity of Benzene is 0.87 while that of water is 1.0; hence water is denser than Benzene. (Yaws, C. 54).
- Acetone and Benzene will ignite if exposed to ignition source because they posses the lowest flash points.
- The liquid is immiscible with water and from its specific gravity; it is less dense than water. By the time excess water will be added to the barrel, water will sink down since it is denser than the liquid. The liquid will be pushed up and eventually overflow.
- A flammable liquid is any liquid with a flashpoint below 100° Fahrenheit, or 37.8° Celsius while a combustible liquid is any liquid having a flashpoint at or above 100° Fahrenheit, or 37.8° Celsius.( Wittcoff, M, 4). Therefore Vinyl Ether with a flash point of -22 F is a flammable liquid.
- A) 1F-274F. This temperature lies between its freezing and boiling points.
B) A temperature of 350F is much higher than that of the boiling point of Cyclohexamine which is 275F.therefore I expect rapture to take place.
C) The basement is likely to get ignited since it contains the highest concentration.
D). It will diffuse in the air since its concentration on other parts is low. (Yaws, C. 67).
