agent orange was before it was mixed and drummed. agent white and agent blue come in powdered dry form in 50 lbs bags as well as SUPER AGENT ORANGE II AND SILVEX (CONTAINED SEVEN TIMES THE AMOUNT OF TCDD DIOXIN THAN THE REST) mixed with water, heavy oil and maybe some JP4. AGENT ORANGE was not soluable with water. it had to be mixed with diesel fuel. I personally handled all of them on Andersen AFB, GUAM FROM SEPT 1968 TO JUNE 1978

What did agent orange do?

It was a chemical based de-folliant used to kill jungle growth, so the North Vietnamese had less cover to work in and set up ambushes. It was also used in the South to kill growth so the Vietcong wouldn't have cover. One of the biggest health risks associated with Agent Orange is cancer. Veterans and citizens of Vietnam are still getting cancer today.


What was Agent Orange during Vietnam War?

During the Vietnam War, the US instituted a massive herbicidal program that ran from 1961 through 1971. The aim of the program was two-fold, one to destroy the "cover" provided by the jungle-like forest, and another to deny food to the enemy. First named Operation Trail Dust, then Operation Hades, it was finally renamed Operation Ranch Hand. A variety of chemicals, fifteen in total, were tested or used operationally during this program. The primary broad-leaf herbicides sprayed during the "testing" phase of the program between 1962 and 1964 were Agent Orange, Agent Purple and Agent White. The chemicals themselves had no color; the names refer to colored stripes painted on the 55 gallon barrels to identify their contents. Much smaller amounts of other herbicides were also tested, including Agent Pink, Agent Green, Dinoxol, Trinoxol, Bromacil, Diquat, Tandex, Monuron, Diuron and Dalapon. Agent Blue was an unrelated herbicide based primarily on arsenic used to kill rice plants which were not susceptible to the phenoxy-based agents. A variety of Paraquat-related chemicals were apparently also tested in this role. For spraying, the various agents were mixed with kerosene or diesel fuel. By 1964 the testing phase had ended, and Agent Orange was selected as the most effective agent for "territory denial". Operational use started in January 1965, increasing in breadth as logistical problems were solved. Most of Agent Orange sprayed during the program was delivered from modified US Air Force C-123K Provider aircraft under a program known as Operation Ranch Hand. Other delivery methods included helicopters, truck and hand spraying, notably for the areas directly around US bases. From 1968 on, an improved version known as "Orange II" or "Super Orange" was used as well. Spraying reached its maximum during the most intense period of the war, between 1967 and 1968. After that the program "drew down", and ended in 1971. By this point an estimated 19 million gallons of herbicide had been sprayed on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, somewhat more than half (55%) of that Agent Orange, between 1962 and 1971. Early estimates from 1974 had placed the amounts lower, between 12 and 14 million US gallons (45,000 and 53,000 m�). In total about 6 million acres (24,000 km�) were sprayed in Vietnam alone.

Why does bleaching powder act as bleaching agent?

Bleaching powder, or calcium hypochlorite, acts as a bleaching agent due to its ability to release chlorine when mixed with water.

Classification for baking powder?

Baking powder is classified as a leavening agent used in baking. It typically contains a combination of an acid (such as cream of tartar) and a base (such as baking soda), along with a moisture-absorbing agent like starch. When mixed with a liquid and exposed to heat, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes doughs and batters to rise. Baking powder can be categorized into single-acting and double-acting, with the latter releasing gas in two phases: once when mixed and again when heated.
