Question 741 Deck General

The correct answer is B) add sodium bisulfate on the contaminated surface and spray it down with water. The Chemical Data Guide provides guidance on the proper response to chemical spills based on the chemical's properties and hazards. For a spill of propylamine, the recommended action is to neutralize the spill by applying sodium bisulfate, which will react with the amine to form a less hazardous compound. The surface should then be flushed with water to dilute and remove the spill. The other options are incorrect because: A) using a soda-ash solution is not the recommended neutralization method for propylamine; C) simply flushing with water does not neutralize the spill; and D) allowing the product to boil off is unsafe and can release hazardous vapors.
