A:A number of gaseous or highly volatile brominated halomethane compounds are non-toxic and make superior fire suppressant agents by this same mechanism, and are particular effective in enclosed spaces such as submarines, airplanes, and spacecraft. However, they are expensive and their production and use has been greatly curtailed due to their effect as ozone-depleting agents. They are no longer often used in routine fire extinguishers, but retain niche uses in aerospace and military automatic fire-suppression applications. They include bromochloromethane (Halon 1011, CHBrCl), bromochlorodifluoromethane (Halon 1211, CBrClF), and bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301, CBrF). B:Would one find brominated halomethane fire extinguishers in space shuttles nowadays? Answer: allows

B:Would you find brominated halomethane fire extinguishers more in use in peacetime? Answer: previous
A:A wide range of volatile solvents intended for household or industrial use are inhaled as recreational drugs. This includes petroleum products (gasoline and kerosene), toluene (used in paint thinner, permanent markers, contact cement and model glue), and acetone (used in nail polish remover). These solvents vaporize at room temperature. Ethanol (the alcohol which is normally drunk) is sometimes inhaled, as is quite easily done at room temperature. The ethanol must be converted from liquid into gaseous state (vapor) or aerosol (mist), in some cases using a nebulizer, a machine that agitates the liquid into an aerosol. The sale of nebulizers for inhaling ethanol was banned in some US states due to safety concerns. B:If someone was trying to inhale ethanol for recreational use at home, could the fact that an air conditioning unit was running make the difference between success and failure? Answer: previous

The sale of nebulizers for inhaling ethanol was banned in some US states due to safety concerns. B:Is is plausible that the easily-recognizable aroma of ethanol that is given off by practically any alcoholic drink has come from the vaporization of the same alcohol in the glass (with or without ice cubes) Answer:
