A fruit processing company has a permit to discharge their process
wastewater to irrigate an adjacent farmland. Their permit limits the pH of
the discharge to 7.0. If the wastewater is 1000 times more acidic than the
limit, what is the current pH of the water?
5.0
3.0
4.0
2.0

Question 2
1.
An old oil refinery is clearing their chemical inventory in preparation of
shutting down operations (they are closing) next winter. Of the many
chemicals that they still have, two drums contain sulfuric acid identified as
4H2SO4.3SO3. For the shipping description, the product should be
described as:
sulfuric acid, spent.
sulfuric acid, fuming (contains less than 30% sulfur trioxide).
sulfuric acid, fuming (contains 30% or more sulfur trioxide).
sulfuric acid, fuming (contains unknown % of sulfur trioxide).

Question 4
1.
Triethylaluminum (TEA) is an alkyl aluminum compound that has been
used as the active component in flamethrowers. Which of the following
statements is INCORRECT regarding TEA?
TEA is a corrosive material.
TEA is a pyrophoric material.

Question 5
1.
The primary acids in acid rain are sulfuric and nitric acids. When it rains,
a chemical reaction between the sulfuric acid (in the rain) and limestone
structures will form carbon dioxide, water, and a salt of the metal. This salt
is:
CaCl2.
CaCO3.
Ca(NO3)2.
CaSO4.

__________ is a form of impure hydrochloric acid that can be used at
swimming pools.

Question 7
1.
__________ is a colorless liquid that is mainly used as a chlorinating
and dehydrating agent. When it reacts with water, a gaseous hydrochloric
acid and aqueous sulfuric acid are produced.

Question 8

1.

The manager of a medium-sized office hired a fire-prevention specialist

to give the annual fire training for their employees. In a pre-test of the
audience, the specialist said that lithium, sodium, and potassium fires
cannot be extinguished effectively by a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher.
The reaction of these metals with carbon dioxide will produce __________
and __________.

Aluminum phosphide can be used as a fumigant for almond and
pistachio nuts. When aluminum phosphide is shipped, the description will
be: __________.

Question 10
1.
A paramedic responded to an apartment emergency call where a young
boy inadvertently swallowed a corrosive (low pH) material. As an initial
action, the paramedic could neutralize the kids stomach with Philips Milk
of Magnesia, a form of magnesium 5 points
Question 11
1.
The element titanium occurs on earth as titanium (IV) oxide and is found
mostly in the mineral calledrutile. 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 manufacturing the metal form of
titanium.
b.
Explain why titanium is a good choice of material for golf clubs.
When not in use, discuss at least one precaution to observe when
storing clubs?

During the fabrication of golf clubs, finely divided titanium is

generated, which poses a dangerous risk of fire and explosion. Explain
the chemical process involved.
Your total response must be at least 200 words in length. You are required to
use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources
used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and/or quoted
material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

Question 12
1.
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 if cleaned with water, the fire may be rekindled. Explain the
chemical process involved in this phenomenon for both types of fire
extinguishing powder.
Your total response must be at least 200 words in length. You are required to
use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources
used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and/or quoted
