70% to passAccording to the chemical data guide, what type of odor would you smell if a leak occurred while loading diethylenetriamine?
A
ammonia
B
gasoline
C
rotten eggs
D
None of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) ammonia. According to the chemical data guide, diethylenetriamine has an ammonia-like odor. If a leak were to occur while loading this chemical, you would smell an ammonia-like odor. This is due to the chemical structure and properties of diethylenetriamine, which contains nitrogen atoms that can produce an ammonia-like smell. The other options are incorrect because gasoline has a distinct petroleum-like odor, rotten eggs have a sulfurous odor, and none of the above would accurately describe the odor of a diethylenetriamine leak.
