🔍 Key Concepts

• Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment by Water entries for specific cargoes • Properties of ethylene oxide as a flammable, reactive chemical • Difference between flash point, supporting combustion, and reaction with other substances

💭 Think About

• Look at which options describe a general chemical reaction or property versus a very specific numerical value. • Consider what you know about ethylene oxide: is it known more for being self-reactive, water-reactive, or for producing some specific toxic decomposition product? • Ask yourself which options sound like they might apply to other chemicals (like brominated compounds or true water-reactives) rather than ethylene oxide specifically.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Chemical Data Guide whether ethylene oxide has a listed flash point and what that value is. • Check whether ethylene oxide is classified as a flammable gas/vapor that needs air, or something that can burn without oxygen (self-oxidizing). • Confirm if the Guide lists any dangerous reactions with water (e.g., producing flammable vapors) or with other substances instead.
