You will be asked to input your FIT email and list your institution. If you have any troubles getting the
reactivity worksheet please contact Dr. Reza or the GSA.
Choose 10 chemicals from the lists below. You should select a minimum of 2 chemicals from each list.
Using the Chemical Reactivity Worksheet, determine how to best sort the 10 chemicals. You have 3
storage spaces available, with each space only being able to hold 5 chemicals. 1 of the storage spaces is
kept under an inert atmosphere. The figure below shows this configuration;
Chemical 1a
Chemical 1b
Chemical 1c
Chemical 2a
Chemical 2b
Chemical 2c
Chemical 3a
Chemical 3b
Chemical 3c
Chemical 4a
Chemical 4b
Chemical 4c
Chemical 5a
Chemical 5b
Chemical 5c
Container 1
Container 2
Container 3
(Inert Atmosphere)
Prepare a short 1-2 page report justifying your sorting selections using the Chemical Reactivity
Workbook (insert CRW worksheet from AIChE program as appendix). Generate a compatibility chart for
both the entire selection of chemicals as well as for each container. You should have 4 compatibility
charts (3 if one of the containers is empty). You should be attempting to minimize incompatibilities.
Depending on your selections, it may be impossible to fully eliminate all chemical incompatibilities. Full
points for this assignment is given for justification of your sorting selections (not for eliminating all
incompatibilities). Hint: for determining what should be kept under an inter atmosphere, check out
SDS’s to find what chemical might be pyrophoric or interact dangerously with moisture in air. The
Worksheet should list air and water reactivity in the Chemical Intrinsic Hazards Section.
Chemical List A
Hexane
Benzene
Ethanol
Tert-butyl bromide
Phenol
Chemical List B
Decanoic Acid
Hydrofluoric Acid
Ammonia
Nitric Acid
Chemical List C
Iron (III) chloride
Lithium
Copper (II) Sulfate
Calcium Carbonate
An example of both using the chemical reactivity worksheet along with the expectations of the report
are included in the chemical worksheet tutorial video. If you have trouble accessing the video please
