Don't Be So Sensitive
This field test is completed by using Test Wires to heat an unknown substance to observe the resulting flame color
Flame test
Wet grass or hay
Phosgene
This strong chemical attraction that forms when one atom transfers electrons to another, creating oppositely charged ions. FTIR cannot see these bonds.
Ionic
This type of spectrometry technique that operates at pressures above 1 Torr
High-Pressure Mass Spectrometry (HMPS/MX908)
This fire apparatus was manufactured in Hamburg Pennsylvania until its closure in 1989
Hahn Fire Apparatus
This paper is used to confirm if an unknown substance is an oxidizer and turns blue violet in the presence of one. (what chemical can be use to prewet this paper?)
Potassium Iodide (KI) Paper
(Hydrochloric Acid)
Almonds or Marzipan
Cyanide
This highly flammable gas has a triple bond, that can be recognized through its "sooty" flame
Acetylene
Needed for a PEMA Type 1 Hazmat Certification, this Type of Mass Spectrometry separates volatile components into a complex sample before utilizing Mass Spec to ionize the sample
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)
Invented by John Bresnan in the late 1800's this device is most usually know as the?
Cellar Nozzle
Upon putting an unknown liquid in a sight-glass, what physical properties can be observed
Color, Smell, Viscosity, Volatility,
Vinegar
Acetic Acid
"Enes with Double Bonds" refers to this family of organic compounds containing at least one Carbon-Carbon double bond (C=C)
Alkenes
"Good Vibrations" but not for spectrometry. This Masshole hails from Dorchester, Massachusetts.
Mark Wahlberg
What U.S. Fire Department is considered to have established the first designated hazmat team?
Jacksonville Fire Department 1977
Often considered the second step in testing an unknown. Adding water to an unknown solid or liquid confirms what?
Solubility/Miscibility
Rotten Eggs
Hydrogen Sulfide
The name of this James Bond film (1964) depicted a character dying after being covered in a metallically bonded paint.
Goldfinger
Originally just a Massachusetts hole in the wall, this joint from claims that America runs on them.
Dunkin' (Quincy, Mass)
In 1903, this U.S. city established its own High Pressure Fire Service System for combatting large fires along its waterfront and commercial areas.
Philadelphia
This field test is used to determine if a product is an energetic, often by introducing a hot pin to the product
Shock Test
Ethyl Acetate
This type of strong chemical bond links smaller molecules (monomers) into long, repeating chains to create this process
Polymerization
In order to start it's chemicals analysis, What temperature (in Fahrenheit) does the MX908 heat liquid and solid samples to?
482 degrees
Los Angeles County Fire Department
