Clorox chemical burn?
Clorox, like many household chemicals, can be very irritating to the skin. In essence, it did "burn" your skin...so you need to treat it like a burn. Keep your fingers clean and dry (wash with mild soap and water every day) and watch for signs of infection: increased redness, swelling, pus discharge, increased pain. If any of these occur, get in to see a doctor. I don't recommend putting any cream or ointment on them. But, you can take a Vitamin E capsule (just a regular vitamin you get at the store) and pierce it with a pin. Apply a few drops of the Vitamin E on your fingers and gently rub it in. Do this once or twice a day for the next week. Vitamin E helps skin heal. They should get better after a few days. If there is no improvement in the next 3 days or if your symptoms get worse...get to the doctor. You can apply an ice pack for 20 minutes several times a day to help with the discomfort.
My dryer smells like burning chemicals?
One simple question, and please answer it for me. Have you painted a wall(s) or refinished a hardwood floor? If so, the urethane in the paint or stain could be burning off in your dryer. I see this all the time. And until the paint cures (usually 6-8 weeks) you can have an odor.
What is the chemical equation for burning paper?
paper is mainly made up of Cellulose: (C6H10O5)n which exists as a chain, if it burns completely, which it rarely does, but if it did the following reaction would occour: 2C6H10O5 + 6O2 goes to 12CO2 10H20 if it burnt not very cleanly at all, so produced lots of smoke, the follwoing reaction may have occoured: C6H10O5 + 5O2 goes to 5CO + CO2 + 5H2O this would also ahev produced lots of lovely smoke and a nice flame unfortuently paper often contains Cholorine which complicates matters, but just forget about that (I have) hope this helps
What change is burning of magnesium, physical or chemical?
Magnesium is oxidized when it burns, often producing MgO, a different chemical substance. By definition this is a chemical reaction.As a chemist I should say that chemical change is a kind of physical change that changes the electronic structure of atoms and which can often be easily reversed.Otherwise, no one would be able to make magnesium metal to start the reaction.Magnesium - WikipediaMagnesium is highly flammable, especially when powdered or shaved into thin strips, though it is difficult to ignite in mass or bulk.
Hartz Ultra Guard flea collar caused chemical burn on my cat?
Hi, so I seem to post a lot about my cat on here. Anyway, about 5 days ago I noticed that my cat had a couple of fleas on him, so I went straight out to Rite Aid and bought him a flea collar. He's had fleas really bad before, so I didn't want to have to deal with it again. Got home, put it on him, seemed fine. I had to leave for 4 days for my second job, and I got back tonight. I noticed that he was scratching his neck by the flea collar, so I took it off right away. On his neck were chemical burns! It wasn't all the way around, mostly under his face. He has two pretty bad sores near each of his ears. Threw away the collar pronto. I tried to wash his neck with soap and water, but he hates water so I'm not sure how well I was able to clean the area. Then I put some hydrogen peroxide on the wounds. It didn't bubble up, so I don't think it's infected. The wounds are hot to the touch though, and my cat scratches at them after I touch them. His hair is also sort of falling out around the wounds. Basically, I have two questions. 1) What can I do about his fleas now? I don't want to use Hartz products, but the stores in my area don't seem to carry anything else without it being horridly expensive. 2) Should I take him to the vet? I don't have a lot of money, but if his life is in danger due to my mistake, then it's something I will do. He seems to be eating and drinking fine, and he's cuddling with me right now. He lets me pet him, but I know that cats are really good about hiding their pain. I'm really not sure what to do. I don't have a lot of money at all - if I took him to the vet, it would be between fixing him and paying rent.
Is burning toast a physical or chemical change?How do you know?
Physical changes are those changes that do not result in the production of a new substance. If you melt a block of ice, you still have H2O at the end of the change. If you break a bottle, you still have glass. Painting a piece of wood will not make it stop being wood. Some common examples of physical changes are; melting, freezing, condensing, breaking, crushing, cutting, and bending. Special types of physical changes where any object changes state, such as when water freezes or evaporates, are sometimes called change of state operations. Chemical changes, or chemical reactions, are changes that result in the production of another substance. When you burn a log in a fireplace, you are carrying out a chemical reaction that releases carbon. When you light your Bunsen burner in lab, you are carrying out a chemical reaction that produces water and carbon dioxide. Common examples of chemical changes that you may be somewhat familiar with are; digestion, respiration, photosynthesis, burning, and decomposition. Sorry! I forgot to tell you that it is a chemical change!
Can "electrical burn" smell without smoke hurt you?
I think you’re refering to ozone, which is the electical smell. If highly concentrated it can fill a room and cause suffication. Though I don’t think it’s like carbon monoxide which builds up in the bloodstream and has long lasting effects. I think it’s more like any other gas which would push the normal air mix out and cause you to suffocate. Open a window to air out that smell and you should be fine. If the smell continues you’ve got a potential electrical fire on your hands. You need to figure out where it is coming from and correct whatever is causing it.
Are electronic cigarettes safe?
Electronic cigs have been on the market for a while, but on 'reputable' sources, such as news organizations, the FDA, and other organizations speak against them. Which I don't understand basically the electronic cigarette comes with a nicotine cartridge like the patch that gives you a dose of nicotine, only the e-cig vaporizes it, and it tastes like real smoke, so the worst thing I'm seeing here is, well nicotine, which are in cigarettes but in other cigarettes there are 1000s of other chemicals and carcinogens. So.. are e-cigs safe in the sense of is it going to give you cancer or negative health affects, and why are organizations, doctors, speaking against it because for the life of me I cannot understand it, it seems like the same implementation of something like the patch just a different way to take it. Thanks
How are electronic devices responsible for CO2 emission?
....Electricity isn't generated from nothing...ENERGY IS NEVER LOST nor created! It is passed on from one state to another..! lol..is it that what my physics teacher told me..u see...here chemical energy (burning fossil fuels in power stations and all) is then converted to ELECTRIC energy...(for charging pc, mobile, or any other electronic device..) ...chemical energy uses the process of burning :D ...releaseing coooooooooooo2 and other greeen house gassssssses!! Hope this helped!
