What are the symptoms of chlorine poisoning?

"The health effects resulting from most chlorine exposures begin within seconds to minutes. The severity of the signs and symptoms caused by chlorine will vary according to amount, route and duration of exposure. Inhalation: Most chlorine exposures occur via inhalation. Low level exposures to chlorine in air will cause eye/skin/airway irritation, sore throat and cough. Chlorine's odor provides adequate early warning of its presence, but also causes olfactory fatigue or adaptation, reducing awareness of one's prolonged exposure at low concentrations. At higher levels of exposure, signs and symptoms may progress to chest tightness, wheezing, dyspnea, and bronchospasm. Severe exposures may result in noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, which may be delayed for several hours. Ingestion: Since chlorine is a gas at room temperature, it is unlikely that a severe exposure will result from ingestion. However, ingestion of chlorine dissolved in water (e.g., sodium hypochlorite or household bleach) will cause corrosive tissue damage of the gastrointestinal tract. Eye/Dermal Contact: Low level exposures to chlorine gas will cause eye and skin irritation. Higher exposures may result in severe chemical burns or ulcerations. Exposure to compressed liquid chlorine may cause frostbite of the skin and eyes." as seen on http://www.health.state.ny.us/environmental/emergency/chemical_terrorism/chlorine_tech.htm


What are three different types of chemical reactions that can be seen in everyday life?

Three different types of chemical reactions seen in everyday life include combustion reactions (burning a candle), oxidation-reduction reactions (rust forming on metal), and acid-base reactions (antacid tablets neutralizing stomach acid). These reactions help drive processes like cooking, cleaning, and metabolism.


What is the mechanism of action of a radical inhibitor in organic chemistry reactions?

A radical inhibitor works by reacting with and neutralizing free radicals, which are highly reactive species that can cause unwanted side reactions in organic chemistry reactions. By scavenging these radicals, the inhibitor helps to control the reaction and prevent undesired outcomes.


Can chemical reactions give off electrical energy?

Yes. Electricity can cause a chemical change. On the History channel they showed electricity doing something to a copper penny that made a chemical change .(don't exactly what the electricity did to it but it did cause a chemical change)


What are the 5 examples of chemical energy sources?

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Biomass from plants and organic materials. Hydrocarbons in gasoline and diesel fuel. Chemical reactions in batteries and fuel cells. Nuclear reactions in uranium and plutonium.

Will a single exposure to a sensitizer cause an immediate reaction?

No, a single exposure to a sensitizer typically does not cause an immediate reaction. Sensitization is a process where the immune system develops a response to the substance over time, leading to an allergic reaction upon subsequent exposures.


The first exposure to a sensitizer will cause an immediate reaction?

No. Most times it will happen after one or more times.

Is benzyl benzoate skin irritant?

Yes, benzyl benzoate can cause skin irritation for some individuals. It is a known skin sensitizer and can cause allergic reactions in certain people. It's recommended to perform a patch test before using products containing benzyl benzoate to check for any sensitivity.

What happens if your hold dry ice in your hands?

Very short exposures to dry ice will produce a sensation of cold, but no lasting damage. However, long exposures can cause frostbite and result in tissue death.
