Question
Chapter 1, Problem 5Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The type of disposable gloves present in the laboratory should be identified. Also whether they provide good or excellent protection from ethylene glycol, dichloromethane, hydrogen peroxide, and ethyl ether should be determined.
Concept introduction:
It isvery essential to wear gloves when experiments are performed with hazardous chemicals and other materials because they protect the hands from the infection caused by chemicals and contamination from radioactive and hazardous chemicals. The composition and thickness of gloves are important factors that determine the effectiveness of gloves.

Which of the following statements about the BOD test is FALSE?
A
BOD test is a simple and practical indicator of the total organic content that is available to organisms plus any
chemicals that spontaneously react with oxygen.
B
BOD test measures the oxygen consumed by microorganisms as they break down organic material
There is an indirect correlation between the BOD5 value and the level of organic pollutants.
The standard test for BOD is the five-day (BOD5) test carried out in the dark at 20 °C

- A chemist working as a safety inspector finds an unmarked bottle in a lab cabinet. A note on the door of the cabinet says the cabinet is used to store bottles of carbon tetrachloride, diethylamine, pentane, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran. The chemist plans to try to identify the unknown liquid by measuring the density and comparing to known densities. First, from his collection of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), the chemist finds the following information: liquid density - 3 1.6 g·cm carbon tetrachloride diethylamine - 3 0.71 g·cm pentane 3 0.63 g cm 3 0.79 g cm acetone tetrahydrofuran - 3 0.89 g cm Next, the chemist measures the volume of the unknown liquid as 1.427 L and the mass of the unknown liquid as 894. g.
