la) Define briefly the following terms: MSDS, IDLH Sublimation, Emulsion, lb) What is the physical state of acetic anhydride at room temperature? Write the structural formula of acetic anhydride, also look up the molecular weight, the boiling point and density of acetic anhydride. Solution a) MSDS or Material Safety Data Sheet is a document that comes with a material and mentions all the potential hazards of the material like health hazards, fire hazards, environmental hazards and reactivity. IDLH or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health is defined as exposure to airborne contaminants which may cause death or adverse health effects. Sublimation is the process by which a substance which is in solid phase, directly goes to gaseous phase with rise in temperature. There\'s no intermediate liquid phase. For example, naphthalene. Emulsion is a fine dispersion of one liquid in another liquid in which it is not completely soluble. It is a liquid-liquid colloid. b) acetic anhydride is a colorless liquid at room temperature . Structural formula CH3COOCOCH3. There is a double bond between second C and O , and third C and O. The other oxygen atom is attached to both the C\'s. Molecular weight:102.09g/mol Boiling point: 140 degrees Celsius Density: 1.08 g/cm^3 .
