According to the Chemical Data Guide, which extinguishing agent is recommended for use in fighting an ethylamine fire?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Dry chemical.
According to the Chemical Data Guide for Hazardous Materials, dry chemical is the recommended extinguishing agent for fighting an ethylamine fire. Ethylamine is a flammable, water-reactive chemical, and dry chemical extinguishers are effective in quickly knocking down and smothering this type of fire. The other options, such as water fog, water foam, or sand/sawdust, are not recommended as they can potentially react with or spread the ethylamine fire, making it more difficult to extinguish safely.
