Question : Coal gasification electric power plants are now operating commercially in the United States and in other nations. This technology produces clean-burning hydrogen that can be transferred to customer facilities by pipeline. Hydrogen can also be transported in bulk by highway or rail. a. If there is a spill of liquid hydrogen, why will it likely burst into flame spontaneously? b. Why do experts recommend the use of a thermal-imaging camera for detecting a hydrogen leak from a pipe fittin...

A chlorine manufacturing company offers a rail carrier 2700 lb (1227 kg) of liquefied compressed chlorine for transportation contained in a ton-container. a. Describe how this rail carrier will comply with DOT transportation requirements. b. Provide at least two examples to demonstrate the corrosive nature of chlorine gas. Your total response must be at least 200 words in length.

Question 1. You are the project manager of an environmental company that was hired to cleanup a historical arsenic contamination site. Soil sampling results indicated the area impacted with arsenic above action levels is 30 feet by 55 feet. The depth of the arsenic plume is three feet below ground surface. The land owner wanted to clean this site for future development. Answer the questions below to help you prepare a cost estimate for this portion of the project. Your solutions and any assumpti...

The Global Harmonization System of Classification and Labeling of Chemical Substances (GHS) has been adopted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT). a. Describe what GHS is. b. In your opinion, what are the benefits and drawbacks of this system? Your response must be at least 200 words in length.

Question1. The element titanium occurs on earth as titanium (IV) oxide and is found mostly in the mineral called rutile. Rutile is abundant in beach sands in Australia and South Africa. For titanium to be useful, rutile has to be processed to obtain the basic metal form of titanium. Although the process is costly, titanium is gaining popularity as a material for various equipment due to its strength and light weight. One such application is in sports equipment. a. Explain the chemical process of...

A garage that specializes in foreign cars had a small magnesium fire when a car part was ignited. The mechanic knew from his training that he should not use water but could use a dry powder like a sodium chloride based fire extinguishing powder (MET-L-X) or a graphite based (LITH-X). He knows that the CO2 extinguishing powder is not a good choice. a. Explain the reasons why the mechanic thinks using CO2 is not a good idea. b. If MET-L-X or LITH-X is used, a residue could be left on the metal and...
