Q

Which is an explosion hazard when exposed to flame?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties of flammable liquids vs oxidizers • How vapor pressure and ability to form an ignitable mixture in air affect explosion risk • Difference between a material that burns and one that can rapidly accelerate combustion or detonate

💭 Think About

• Among the four options, which substance is commonly associated with industrial solvent use and strict flammable‑liquid handling precautions? • Which substance is often used medically or industrially as an oxidizer or gas but is not itself typically classified as a primary fuel for an explosion when simply exposed to a flame? • Which items are more likely to burn or decompose rather than create an explosive vapor‑air mixture in normal shipboard conditions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which listed substance has a low flash point and forms flammable vapors at normal temperatures • Identify which substance is primarily an oxidizing gas rather than a flammable liquid fuel • Consider which materials on MSDS/SDS sheets carry a highly flammable / explosive vapor warning when near open flame
