Question 740Deck General70% to pass
During transfer operations, ethyl chloride spills into the water. According to the Chemical Data Guide, at what temperature will the ethyl chloride boil off the water?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) above 54°F.
The Chemical Data Guide for Hazardous Materials states that the boiling point of ethyl chloride is 54°F (12.2°C). Therefore, for the ethyl chloride to boil off the water during a spill, the water temperature must be above 54°F.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the boiling point of ethyl chloride. Temperatures below 54°F would not be sufficient for the ethyl chloride to fully evaporate from the water.
