Question 262Deck General70% to pass
You are loading benzyl chloride and a small quantity spills on deck. According to the Chemical Data Guide, which of the following may be used as a substitute for water for the cleanup procedure?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Sodium carbonate.
According to the Chemical Data Guide for Hazardous Materials, sodium carbonate (also known as soda ash) can be used as a substitute for water in the cleanup procedure for a small spill of benzyl chloride on the deck. Sodium carbonate is an effective neutralizing agent that can react with and absorb the benzyl chloride, making it a suitable alternative when water is not readily available.
The other options are not appropriate substitutes. Sodium bisulfite (B) is used for different types of chemical spills, alcohol (C) could potentially create a fire hazard, and a soda ash solution (D) is essentially the same as using sodium carbonate (A) directly.
