fumigant, but because it is a threat to the ozone layer, its use is being phased
out. This colorless gas is toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption, so
the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists has assigned it
a threshold limit value, or TLV, a maximum concentration to which a worker
may be repeatedly exposed day after day without experiencing adverse effects.
(TLV standards are meant to serve as guides in control of health hazards, not to
provide definitive dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations.)
Bromomethane reaches its TLV when 0.028 moles escape into a room that

is considered relatively safe, it reaches its TLV

Gaseous chlorine, Cl

substance with an irritating odor. It is formed from the electrolysis of molten
sodium chloride. Chlorine reaches its TLV (defined in question 57) in a
laboratory when 0.017 moles of Cl
are released yielding a pressure of

intermediate. Hydrogen bromide reaches its TLV (defined in question 57) in a
laboratory room when 0.33 moles of it are released yielding a pressure of 0.30 Pa

Hydrogen chloride, HCl, is used to make vinyl chloride, which is then used to

make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. Hydrogen chloride can be purchased in
liquefied form in cylinders that contain 8 lb HCl. What volume in liters will
8.0 lb HCl occupy if the compound becomes a gas at 1.0 atm and 85 °C?
