Question 297Deck General70% to pass
You are on a multiple-product chemical tanker and will carry cargoes of allyl alcohol, benzene, and propanolamine. Which of the following is true?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Allyl alcohol is incompatible with propanolamine but both are compatible with benzene.
This is correct because allyl alcohol and propanolamine are chemically incompatible and must be segregated, while both are compatible with benzene. The regulations on cargo compatibility require that incompatible cargoes be kept in separate tanks to prevent dangerous reactions. In this case, allyl alcohol and propanolamine must be segregated, but both can be carried in the same vessel as benzene.
The other answer choices are incorrect because B) is too broad, C) is not the full picture, and D) reverses the compatibility between allyl alcohol and propanolamine.
