Question 1 of 27070

Q

Some cargoes can react with air to form unstable oxygen compounds which could __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Oxidation reactions between cargo and air • Properties of unstable oxygen compounds (like peroxides) • Typical hazards emphasized in dangerous cargo handling

💭 Think About

• When a cargo reacts with air and forms an unstable oxygen compound, what kind of behavior is that compound likely to have? • Which of the options describes a sudden, violent reaction rather than a slow or common chemical change? • Think about what hazard cargo-handling regulations worry about most when talking about reactive cargoes and oxygen.

✅ Before You Answer

• Focus on the word unstable and what that usually implies about stored energy or reactivity • Ask whether each choice is a common, everyday result of air contact, or a special dangerous reaction • Eliminate options that describe normal, non‑hazardous reactions with oxygen, and look for the one linked to major safety risk
