According to the Chemical Data Guide, what are the flammable limits of ethylene oxide?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 - 100%.
According to the Chemical Data Guide for Cargo Inspectors published by the US Coast Guard, the flammable limits for ethylene oxide are 2 - 100% by volume in air. This means that ethylene oxide can form flammable mixtures with air when the concentration is between 2% and 100% by volume.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the flammable limits for ethylene oxide as specified in the Chemical Data Guide. For example, option A) 1.85 - 48.0% and option C) 1.9 - 88.0% are narrower ranges than the actual flammable limits, while option D) 2.7 - 34% is a completely different range.
