A chemical material, as listed on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that can undergo a sudden and violent release of pressure and heat is called __________.
• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) terminology for hazards • Difference between combustible, flammable, and explosive materials • Relationship between sudden release of pressure and heat and type of hazard
• Which term specifically involves a very rapid release of pressure and energy, rather than just burning? • Look at the key words in the question: does ‘sudden and violent release of pressure and heat’ describe ordinary burning, or something more energetic? • On an MSDS, which hazard class would you associate with risk of detonation or rapid decomposition producing shock waves?
• Match the phrase "sudden and violent release of pressure and heat" with the standard hazard definitions used in safety training. • Be sure you distinguish between burning properties (like flammable/combustible) and rapid energy release properties. • Confirm which option describes a reaction that can cause blast effects, not just fire or poisoning.
