Example text
824 ð 103 K T2 D 332 K SOLUBILITY or T2 D 332 K 273 D 59° C 138° F Thus, the boiling point of 2-bromopropane should theoretically be equal to 59° C 138° F . The actual boiling point determined experimentally is 60° C 140° F , which agrees very closely with the above calculation. B VAPOR DENSITY It is often necessary to know whether the vapors of a hazardous substance is heavier than air. For example, vapors of a flammable liquid, such as, diethyl ether are heavier than air and can present a “flashback” fire hazard.
The toxic actions of these and others are discussed in Part B of this text. C IMMUNE SYSTEM: IMMUNOTOXICANTS The immune system protects the host against viruses, bacteria, fungus, other foreign organisms and cells, as well as neoplasm. Many toxicants are known to suppress the function of the immune system. Such substances can lower the body’s resistance to bacterial and viral infection. The mode of actions of immunotoxicants are wide, showing a variety of effects. These include immunosuppression, immunodysfunction, and autoimmunity.
It is calculated by dividing the molar mass of the substance with that of air. 20 mol O2 ð D 29 g/mol 1 mol O2 1 mol air Thus, to determine the vapor density of a compound, we divide its formula weight by 29, as in the following example: Problem 1. Determine the vapor density of (i) diethyl ether and (ii) hydrogen cyanide. (i) The molecular formula of diethyl ether is (C2 H5 )2 O, and its formula 11 weight is 74. 55. 55 (air D 1) (ii) The formula weight for hydrogen cyanide, HCN is 27. 93. 93 (air D 1).
