Pentane is a five-carbon alkane and has a boiling point of 97°F, a flash point of -40°F, a flammable range of 1.5 to 7.8%, and an ignition temperature of 500°F. As [Pg.189]

Alkenes are the second hydrocarbon family. Alkenes have one or more double bonds between the carbons in the structure of the compound. The gases ethene (ethylene), propene (propylene), and butene (butylene) were discussed in Chapter [Pg.192]

Since there are no commercially valuable alkyne compounds that are likely to be encountered by emergency responders, the alkyne family will not be covered here. Acetylene, the alkyne gas, and the characteristics of the alkyne family were covered in Chapter 4. [Pg.193]

Health and Safety Factors. Ttimesic acid is an irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system (140). It is mildly toxic when iagested. The oral LD q ia tats has been reported as 8.4 g/kg (141). Ttimesic acid is flammable, and precautions similar to those noted for tetephthaUc acid and isophthahc acid as regards dust clouds and fire extinguishing agents should be followed. [Pg.499]

Various bromofluoromethanes have been described and proposed for use as fire extinguishing agents (qv). Two that have been recommended highly for this purpose are dibromo difluoromethane [75-61-6] CBr2p2, and bromotrifluoromethane [75-65-8], CBrF, (94). Bromochlorodifluoromethane [353-59-3], CBrClF2, is another fire extinguishing agent. These and similar substituted methanes are potentially useful for the synthesis of other halo—fluoro compounds. [Pg.295]
