Question 744 Deck General
70% to passAccording to the Chemical Data Guide, what does the grade B flammable liquid carbon disulfide produce when burning?
A
phosgene gas
B
sulfur dioxide gas
C
carbon tetrachloride
D
sulfuric acid gas
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) sulfur dioxide gas. When carbon disulfide, a Grade B flammable liquid, burns, it produces sulfur dioxide gas as a combustion byproduct. This is in accordance with the chemical reaction for the combustion of carbon disulfide, which is 2CS2 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2SO2. The other answer choices are incorrect because phosgene gas (A) is not a product of carbon disulfide combustion, carbon tetrachloride (C) is a different chemical compound, and sulfuric acid gas (D) is not the primary byproduct of burning carbon disulfide.
