Question 1 of 27070

According to the Chemical Data Guide, what does ethyl chloride produce when ignited?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment by Water combustion products section • Difference between chlorine gas, phosgene, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) • Typical ignition/combustion products of chlorinated hydrocarbons like ethyl chloride

💭 Think About

• Look at how ethyl chloride is classified (what family of chemicals?) and think about what gases that family tends to produce when burned • Compare which answer choices are associated with burning chlorinated solvents versus burning nitrogen-containing or lead-containing compounds • Ask yourself which listed products would require the original substance to contain nitrogen or lead, and eliminate those that don’t fit ethyl chloride’s composition

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify ethyl chloride’s chemical formula and elements present (what atoms are actually in the molecule?) • Check the Fire and Explosion Hazards / Hazardous Decomposition Products entry for ethyl chloride in the Chemical Data Guide • Eliminate any answer that involves elements not present in ethyl chloride’s formula (for example, nitrogen or lead)
