Hazmat Operations questions and
answers, VERIFIED.
Boiling Point - ✔✔-When a liquid turns into a gas
Chemical Reactivity - ✔✔-Ability of a material to undergo a chemical change. The susceptibility of
material to release energy by itself or in combination with other materials
Corrosivity (pH) - ✔✔-A measure of a substance's tendency to deteriorate
3 types of corrosives - ✔✔-Acid, neutral, base (also known as alkaline or caustic)
Flammable Range - ✔✔-Difference between upper and lower flammable limits
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) - ✔✔-Minimum concentration in which a flame will not propagate in the
presence of an ignition source. "Too lean to burn"
Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) - ✔✔-Maximum concentration in which a flame will not propagate in the
presence of an ignition source. "Too rich to burn"
Flash Point - ✔✔-Temperature at which a liquid will give off sufficient vapors that will ignite readily. Fire
does not have to continue to burn. Ex) friction, lightning, lighter..
Ignition Temperature/Autoignition Temperature - ✔✔-Minimum temperature required to cause self-
sustained combustion in the absence of any source of ignition
Particle Size - ✔✔-Expressed in microns
, Persistence - ✔✔-Materials ability to stay within the area of release for long periods
3 physical states - ✔✔-Solid, liquid, gas
Solid - ✔✔-Has a stable, specific shape, and a definite volume
Liquid - ✔✔-Shape is not definite, but is determined by its container
Significance/Impact of Radiation - ✔✔-High energy causes a physical change
Damage leads to genetic mutations
Neutron Radiation is not commonly encountered in transportation situations
Non-Iodizing Radiation - ✔✔-Microwaves, radio waves, and visible light
Specific Gravity - ✔✔-Weight of a liquid or solid as compared to an equal amount of water
Water is given a value of 1.0
Less than 1.0 = floats
Greater than 1.0 = sinks
Cannot mix with water
Toxic Products of Combustion - ✔✔-May alter the original products
Smoke, Steam, and runoff from fire and fire fighting operations may contaminate a larger area
Vapor Density - ✔✔-Weight of a vapor as compared to an equal amount of air
