(a)
From the safety
point of view, why is flash point more important than
boiling
point? Explain.
(b)
Using the flash point, discuss the
safety consideration for ethyl acetate.
(c)
Explain any inferences and
interpretations that can be made concerning
the
upper and lower
flammability (or explosive) limits for ethyl acetate.
(d)
Explain if the auto-ignition
temperature of ethyl acetate posed a safety
hazard
in this experiment.
Flash point is the temperature where the gas can explode which
is why you cannot afford to let any gas reach it's flash point.
