Question

6. Ethanol is a flammable liquid/vapor.

Eye contact: It causes severe eye irritation. It may also cause corneal damage.

Skin contact: It causes moderate skin irritation. It may also cause cyanosis in case of chronic exposure.

Ingestion: It may cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression, characterized by excitement, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. In case of chronic exposure, it may cause unconsciousness, coma, and respiratory failure that leads to death.

Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations causes narcotic effects.

Prolonged exposure may cause damage to liver, kidney, and heart.

Explanation / Answer

6 (4 points) You would want to consult the MSDSs for all reagents used prior to running the experiment. However, from your own laboratory experience, you should already know the main safety hazard that ethanol would present in a laboratory setting. What is this hazard? 7. (10 points) Draw a sketch of a reaction apparatus suitable for running this reaction in the CHEM325 laboratory setting. Label any components of the reaction apparatus that are part of your microscale kit. A list of microscale kit parts is attached to the back of the exam 16
