ACETALDEHYDE. Colorless flammable liquid used as a drug intermediate. 

The next era in the history of depressants also involved the search for an effective anesthetic. William Morton was a Boston dentist and medical student who was familiar with Wells s blunder, but Morton learned of another drug that he believed might be a better choice as an anesthetic ether. Ether is a highly flammable liquid that vaporizes at room temperature. When the ftimes are inhaled, they produce a state of intoxication. After conducting some initial experiments with ether, Morton asked permission to demonstrate its use as a general anesthetic. In 1846, just a year after... 

Ethyl acetate (ETH-uhl ASS-uh-tate) is a clear, colorless, volatile, flammable liquid with a pleasant fruity odor. Its appealing odor and fruity taste (in dilute solutions) explains one of its primary uses as an additive in foods and drugs to improve their flavor. 

Uses Toluene is a clear, colorless, flammable, and sweet- pungent-smelling liquid. It is extensively used as a solvent in different industries, (e.g., rubber chemical manufacture, drugs and pharmaceuticals, thinner for inks, paints dyes, perfume manufacture). 

Pyridine, C5H5N, is a slightly yellow liquid with a nauseating odour. It is flammable and toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Pyridine is used in the synthesis of vitamins and drugs, and has many other uses in industrial chemistry. Determine the percentage composition of pyridine. 

Synonyms and trade names acetic aldehyde, aldehyde, ethanol, ethylaldehyde Use and exposure Acetaldehyde is a highly flammable, volatile, colorless liquid with a characteristic and pungent odor. It is miscible in water. Exposure to acetaldehyde occurs during the production of acetic acid and various other industrial chemical substances—for instance, manufacture of drugs, dyes, explosives, disinfectants, phenolic and urea resins, rubber accelerators, and varnish. - - ... 

Use and exposure Acetone is a manufactured chemical that is also found naturally in the environment. It is a colorless liquid with a distinct smell and taste. It evaporates easily, is flammable, and dissolves in water. Acetone is used to make plastic, fibers, drugs, and other chemicals. It is also used to dissolve other substances. It occurs naturally in plants, trees, volcanic gases, and forest fires, and as a product of the breakdown of body fat. It is present in vehicle exhaust, tobacco smoke, and landfill sites. Industrial processes contribute more acetone to the environment than natural processes do. People are exposed to acetone in a variety of ways—for instance, through contaminated air in the workplace, with the use of household materials like nail polish and paints, contaminated food, and repeated breathing of secondhand smoke. ... 

Benzene is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It evaporates into the air very quickly and dissolves slightly in water. It is highly flammable and is formed from both natural processes and manufacture. Some industries use benzene to make other chemicals which are used to make plastics, resins, and nylon and synthetic fibers. Benzene is also used to make some types of rubbers, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, and pesticides. Natural sources of benzene include volcanoes and forest fires. 

Trichloroethylene, CHCICCI2, is a stable, low-boiling, colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is not corrosive to the common metals even in the presence of moisture. It is slightly soluble in water and is nonflammable. It is toxic by inhalation, with a TLV of 50 ppm and an IDLH of 1000 ppm in air. The FDA has prohibited its use in foods, drugs, and cosmetics. The four-digit UN identihcation number is 1710. The NFPA 704 designation is health 2, flammability 1, and reactivity... 

Lysergic acid methylpropylamide Lethal dose-50 The dose of a drug that kills half of the test population Like dissolves like Linear dynamic range Lower explosive limit same as LEL, lower flammability range Lower flammability range Ligand field theory Liquid/liquid extraction such as performed in a separatory funnel or Soxh-let extraction unit Limit of detection... 

Formic acid in 85% concentration is not flammable, and diluted formic acid is on the US Food and Drug Administration list of food additives. The principal danger from formic acid is from skin or eye contact with the concentrated liquid or vapors. The US OSHA Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) of formic acid vapor in the work environment is 5 parts per million parts of air (ppm).
