Question
Dangerous Paint Stripper Jessica has a summer job working for the
city parks program. She has been using a cleaner called “Graffiti Gone” to
remove graffiti from the bathrooms. She has to take a lot of breaks, because
the chemical makes her throat burn. It also makes her feel dizzy sometimes,
especially when the bathrooms don’t have very many windows. On the label, she
sees that the cleaner has methylene chloride in it. She feels like she’s
managing to get the work done, but she is worried about feeling dizzy. She
wants to find out more about this chemical, what harm it can cause, and
whether there are safer ways to do this work.
Questions for following story.
1. What went right in this situation?
2. What went wrong in this situation?
3. What steps should be taken in this workplace to make sure employees are
better protected and prepared the next time?

- Consider four distinct physical properties: boiling point, melting point, solubility, and density. which of these physical properties do you think allows extraction to work? and why?arrow_forwardIn the laboratory, a student adds 14.0 g of silver nitrate to a 375 mL volumetric flask and adds water to the mark on the neck of the flask. Calculate the concentration (in mol/L) of silver nitrate, the silver ion and the nitrate ion in the solution.arrow_forwardMuch of Earth's history can be unraveled studying sulfur. Sulfur can be used as "geothermometer". The ratios of stable sulfur isotopes change with the temperature of Earth's processes. For example, igneous systems deep inside the Earth occur at very high temperatures, hydrothermal systems occur at intermediate conditions, and sedimentary rock weathering occurs at low temperatures. The composition of stable sulfur isotopes varies across the 1000 degree temperature range. 10. How many peaks would be seen in the mass spectra for such a study? Make a basic sketch (bar chart) a.m.u. vs % natural abundance and label each peak's a.m.u. and % natural abundance.arrow_forward
- Each sketch below shows three objects with an electric charge. In each case, decide whether there is a net force acting on the object outlined in green. If there is a net force, decide whether it pushes the green-ring object to the left or right. Then select the appropriate button under the sketch. For example, if there is a net force pushing the green-ring object in the first sketch to the left, select the left button under the first sketch. If there is no net force on the green-ring object in the second sketch, select the middle button under the second sketch. And so on. I Don't Know Submit X ✪ n tv © 2023 McGraw Hill LLC.

What sort of tone does the author create by using the connotative effects of the word sage in paragraph 6? The word "sage" is used primarily as a joke, gently mocking the fishing guide who cannot force fish to A) appear or guarantee good fishing to a paying customer. Primarily, the author is creating None of awe or B) respect for the great wisdom and power that the Eiminate sage, or fishing guide, holds in his mind. The author is being highly critical, even condemning. of the ignorance of these so-called "sages who can't help fisherman catch fish. The word sage" in this context has no connotaive D) effect on the tone or meaning of this entire passage.arrow_forwardThe synthesis of aspirin is a common esterification reaction. It is based on the balanced reaction given in the background of this lab. Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin given that 3.52-mL of acetic anhydride was reacted with 0.9457-g of salicylic acid. Synthesized solids often need to be purified prior to use. What are some ways you could purify synthesized aspirin in the laboratory? Explain why you would not expect to smell acetic acid after the addition of sodium bicarbonate to the esterification reaction mixture.arrow_forward

Most of it (>50%) is reflected by the clouds. Most of it (>50%) is reflected from earth's surface. Most of it is absorbed by the earth and clouds in the lower atmosphere.arrow_forward1. Water is necessary for life on Earth. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms (H2O); however, biological life in water depends on another form of oxygen. These organisms need molecular oxygen (O2), which they use to perform aerobic respiration. This molecular oxygen fits into spaces between water molecules and is available for aquatic organisms to use. How do you think molecular oxygen gets into the water? Choose two of the following choices. Select all that apply: From the oxygen atoms that are part of the water molecules. From oxygen that dissolves into water from the atmosphere. From oxygen that is given off by aquatic organisms during respiration. From oxygen that is given off by aquatic plants during photosynthesis.arrow_forwardTry Again Your answer is incorrect. ● HF: Your answer is incorrect. Some chemical compounds are listed in the first column of the table below. Each compound is soluble in water. Imagine that a few tenths of a mole of each compound is dissolved in a liter of water. The important chemical species that would be present in this solution are written in the second column of the table. Use the checkboxes to classify each compound. compound НІ HF NH3 NaI important species present when dissolved in water H₂O, I, H₂O H₂O¹, F, HF, H₂0 + NH,, OH ,NH,,H,O + Na, I, H₂O type of compound (check all that apply) strong weak strong weak acid acid base base ionic molecular U U 0 U 0 0 0 0arrow_forward
