1. grease contains lipids and fats
and water and fats do not mix.
2. it is an organic compound
Cat litter as it absorbs
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures.
If it's real close to the point of impact - sure.
Great Whites and probally tons more. Great Whites Came to Cape Cod during thee oil spill when we brought the seals over hear so the great whites always vollow their pray.
Lysosome contain digestive enzymes for almost all type of organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over cell content and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them ,they are called suicide bags
Water is not effective in cleaning up grease spills because grease is nonpolar and does not mix with water. Water molecules are polar and cannot break down the nonpolar grease molecules. This causes the grease to float on top of the water, making it difficult to remove.
The tiny sponge didn't absorb the entire spill.
no they arent
maybe try cleaning it or not spill the oil spill clean with lighter fluid
maybe try cleaning it or not spill the oil spill clean with lighter fluid
Check out the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
I need to ensure that the sponge has proper absorption abilities before I clean up the spill.
Transocean is under contract for BP.
some workers are cleaning it up
plug it up with mud and stones
Baking soda will react chemically with vinegar, so cleaning a vinegar spill with baking soda will, if sufficient baking soda is applied, react with all the vinegar and completely eliminate all that vinegar and its smell. The "active ingredient" in vinegar is acetic acid, which is CH3COOH, and its mixed in with water. Baking soda is NaHCO3. The reaction is as follows: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 => NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3
Add a lot of basic substances such as baking soda / limestone on the spill. Wait till the bubbling is complete (neutralization is complete) and then using a proper clothing, clean up the spill with a sponge.
