🔍 Key Concepts

• Chemical burns vs. simple irritation and how strong acids behave on contact with skin • Relative corrosiveness of strong acids, organic solvents, and hydrocarbons • How fuming, highly concentrated sulfuric compounds affect living tissue

💭 Think About

• Think about which substance can actually cause a chemical burn and destroy tissue, not just make the skin feel dry or itchy • Compare how a strong, reactive acid would affect your skin versus common solvents like alcohols or hydrocarbons used in industry • Ask yourself which of these is usually handled with the strictest protective clothing requirements because of its contact hazard

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a highly corrosive, fuming acid mixture rather than just an organic solvent • Consider which substance would require immediate, copious water flushing if it touched the skin • Eliminate any substances you know are commonly handled with only light protection and cause, at most, mild irritation on brief contact
