During transfer operations, ethyl chloride spills into the water. According to the Chemical Data Guide, at what temperature will the ethyl chloride boil off the water?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment by Water temperature data tables • Difference between boiling point in air and boil‑off temperature from water • Units and scale: recognizing values given in degrees Fahrenheit for cargo properties

💭 Think About

• Look up ethyl chloride in the Chemical Data Guide and identify all temperature-related entries. Which one specifically mentions behavior when spilled on water? • Compare the normal boiling point of ethyl chloride with the temperatures in the answer choices. How does the presence of water affect the effective boil‑off temperature? • Think about whether the chemical will evaporate quickly or slowly from a water surface at typical ambient temperatures—how does that relate to the listed thresholds?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are reading the line that refers to boils off water at or above X°F, not flash point or auto‑ignition temperature. • Confirm you are using the Fahrenheit value, not a Celsius value converted incorrectly. • Double‑check that you are looking at the entry for ethyl chloride only, not a similar‑sounding compound.
