🔍 Key Concepts

• Toxic combustion products of halogenated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride • How some liquids behave when exposed to high heat and hot metal surfaces • Difference between a substance that burns or explodes vs. one that mainly creates a poisonous gas hazard

💭 Think About

• Think about whether carbon tetrachloride is normally used as a fuel or as something else on ships and in industry. Would it be expected to burn easily? • If this chemical is heated strongly near metal surfaces during a fire, what kind of decomposition products could form, and what risk would that pose to firefighters? • Which choice best reflects a serious inhalation/poisoning hazard rather than just fire or explosion behavior?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which option describes formation of a highly toxic gas rather than burning, reacting with water, or exploding. • Verify whether carbon tetrachloride is generally considered flammable or explosive under normal conditions. • Confirm which choice matches the known risk of decomposition to a poisonous gas when exposed to high heat and metal.
