In engineering ‘work it is often necessary to use extremely large and Very small numbers. For ‘example, the mass of an electron is commonly cited as 0.0000000000000000000000000009107 grams. A simpler Way to express such ‘numbers was needed. Thus scientific notation eliminates the need to wri the zeros. Exponents and bases. Practitioners involved inthe health & safety arena long enough, to be studying for the ASP exam, are CO*MIGAE already familiar with the idea of raising a number to | apower. Forexample, 10°is read as 10tothe sixth 3.46 10 power, and itis equal 010 « 10 » 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 6r 1,000,000. The 10 is known as the base and the 6 Base is called the exponent. Te exponent tells us the number of times the base is factor in the ‘multiplication. For example: Exponent 10°10 10x 10x 10x 10x 10=1,000000 Base So, 108s equal to one million. How about 10 to the 10th? 10!”= 10x 10x 10x10 x 10x 10x 10x 10x 10x 10 1,000,000,000 ‘A base can also have a negative exponent, for example, 10°. Always write a base with a negative exponent asthe reciprocal, with the sign of the exponent ‘changed to positive.

EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME I ‘Three rules for converting ordinary numbers to scientific notation are as, follows. RULE 1. —If the number is equal to or greater than 10, then 1, Move the decimal point to the let, counting the number of places it must ‘move ituntil a decimal number between 1 and 10 is determined, 2. Multiply this decimal number by 10 raised to a positive power equal to the number of places the decimal point was moved. RULE 2. Ifthe number ie less than 1 1. Move the decimal point to the right, counting the number of places it was ‘moved it until youhave a decimal number between 1 and 10, 2. Multiply this decimal number by 10 raised to a negative power equal to ‘the number of places the decimal point moved. RULE 3,—If the number is equal to or greater than 1.0 and less than 10.0. 1, Simply write down the number and multiply it by 10°(1), because no (zero) movement ofthe decimal point is required, Converting scientific notation into ordinary decimal numbers. To convert 2 number in scientific notation, such as 6:02 x 10", into an ordinary decimal number, start by examining the exponent. If the exponent is positive, move the decimal tothe right a number of places equal to the value of the exponent. Zeros may have to be filled in. Remember that positive exponents are associated with numbers greater than 10. Ifthe exponent is negative, move the decimal tothe let a number of places equal tothe value of the exponent. Again, you may have to fill in zeros, ‘Remember, negative exponents are associated with numbers thet are less than 1. ‘Copyright©2015 SPAN® International Training, LLC 5SPAN® EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME II scientific notation, Multiplying numbers ‘To multiply two numbers written in scientific notation, multiply the two NUMBEROF MOLES ABSOLUTETEMPeK or R R= GASCONSTANT degrees K = °C +273, degrees R = °F +460 Note: PV =nRT is often ealled the equation of state, or the Ideal Gas Law, ‘on examinations. ———— Copyrigh(©2015 SPAN® International Training, LLC 15SPAN® EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME II ‘The smallest particle of an element (that is still representative of the element ‘an atom, The atom is composed of electrons, protons and neutons. Electrons are negatively charged particles and responsible for the chemical reactivity of the atoms of an element. Profons are positively charged particles and neutrons. ‘are neutral. The protons and neutrons occupy the central area ofthe atom called the mucleus. Electrons reside inthe space surrounding the nucleus in atomic orbits. ‘An element isa substance made up of one kind of atom. For example, chlorine ‘gas consists only of chlorine atoms. Carbon is an element composed only of | ‘carbon atoms. The etoms of the same element have an identicel number of ‘protons and electrons. Atoms of the same element having different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes of the element. Ifthey have the same number of protons and neutrons they are considered neutral (neutrally charged). ‘Atomic Weight & Atomic Number ‘The masses of elements are called atomic weights. The baseline is carbon-12, the carbon-12 atom consists of six electrons, six protons and six neutrons and ‘thus, is given the mass of exactly 12. ‘The atomic weight of any element is the average weight (of the natural isotopes) compared to carbon, The mass in grams of any element that is equal to thatelement’s atomic weight is called one gram-molecular weight, or one mole (6.024 x 10” atoms or molecules = Avogadro's number). “The atomic number and the stomic weight are not the same The atomic ‘number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that ‘element. The atomic number tells us the number of positive charges in the nucleus and the numbers of electrons in the neutral atom. As we will see in the periodic table, the atomic number determines the identity of an element, 16 Copyright©2015 SPAN® International Training, LLCSPAN® EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME II Chemical Symbols Hiyerogen Sodium Chromium He Helium | Mg ‘Magnesium iron Li Lithivin | Al Aluminum | Ni ‘Nickel Be Beryllium |P Phosphorus | Zn Zine B Bona |S Sulfur Br Bromine e Carbon Chlorine Todine N Nitrogen ‘Argon Mercury ° Oxeen_[K Potassium [Pb Lead F Fluorine Calcium Radon, The Periodic Table The horizontal groupings (rows) are called periods, and correspond to the umber of the outermost energy level (shell) electrons. The columns align to form groups or familles of elements with similar or identical outer-shell electron structures and thus, similar chemical properties. This outer shell or valence electror structure is important to our studies since it describes the basic stability of the stom structure. ‘+ The group TA located on the far left ofthe table is called the alkali metal family and consists of lithium (Li) sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). The members ofthis group are all metals that react violently with water and ignite on exposure toair. The IA group has one electron in the outer shel, ‘© Group ITA, known as the alkaline earth metals, includes beryllium (Be), ‘magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sx), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra). These elements also react with water to form bases, but nat with ‘ear the intensity ofthe alkali metals. They can ignite in air after being heated or exposed to some ignition source. The IIA group has two electrons in the ovter shell ‘Copyright©2015 SPAN® International Training, LLC "7SPAN* EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME IL ‘© Group VITA, is known as the halogens. The halogen group includes Aluorine (F), calorine (C), bromine (Br), iodine (1) and astine (At). In their elemental form, the members ofthis group are strong cxidizing ‘agents and react violently with many chemicals. In high coxcentrations, they are corrosive to many substances including metals and body tissues, ‘such as the skin, eyes and respiratory system. They become strong acids the presencs of moisture. Additionally, fairly recent knovledge of adverse health effects of halogenated compounds ensures tht all examinations will continue to test knowledge on properties/sffects of halogens. Nove: Fluorine is the most chemically reactive ofall elements. ‘The VIIA group has seven electrons in the outer shell ‘© Group VIIIA, on the far right of the periodic table is knownas the noble ‘gases. This group includes helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Az) and radon (Rn). These elements are sometimes referred to as the "nest gases". ‘Because the noble gases contain 8 valence electrons, they exhibit a very low tendency to chemically unite with other elements. Except for ‘helium, the noble gases are all heavier than air and displace oxygen. ‘Molecules and Compounds ‘Armolecule isa unit of matter formed by the chemical combination of two or ‘more atoms, usually from different elements. Chlorine (Cl) combines with hydrogen (H) to form hydrochloric acid (HCI). This is an example of atoms ‘combining by chemical bonding to form a molecule. Molecules ae groups of atoms that are bonded together so tightly that they act as one particle. In the case of chlorine gas, the atoms naturally combine in groups of twe to form a chlorine molecule, Cl. This form is more stable than one chlorine atom alone, ‘other examples of elements whose molecules are made up of two stoms are: hydrogen (H.), oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N;). ‘A compound is a substance composed of all the same kind of molscules. For example, water is a compound composed entirely of water molecules (HO). ‘Compounds should not be confused with mixtures. Mixtures are not the result of chemical bonding, rather, they consist of separate elements or compounds ‘that are mixed together. Mixtures include solutions, when a solute (for example, sugar) is dissolved in a solvent (such as water). Like all mixtures, cach component of a solution retains its own chemical properties. 18 Copyright©2015 SPAN® International Training, LLCSPAN*® EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME It ‘Chemical Formulas ‘Chemical formulas are a shorthand way of expressing the composition of ‘molecules and ways in which they react with one another. Hydrochloric acid, the chemical combination of hydrogen and chlorine, is abbreviated HCL. This is the chemical formula for hydrochloric acid. In this case, there is one atom of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine in every molecule of hydrochloric acid. If there is more than one identical atom in a molecule, the number is shown as @ subscript after the symbol for that atom, as inthe chemical formula for sulfuric Acid, H3S0y. Here, there are two atoms of hydrogen, one atom of sulfur and four atoms of oxygen in every molecule of sulfuric acid, ‘The chemical formula for chloroform is CHC; and during prolonged storage in the presence of oxygen, chloroform converts slowly to phosgene, releasing HCI inthe process. This is illustrated by the following chemical reaction: Chloroform (CHC) + oxygen (03) yields Phosgene (COCh) + Hydrochloric Acid (HC). 2CHCh + 0, ——* 2COCk+ 2HCI As the bonds that hold molecules together are broken, the elements break free and bond in a different way to form different molecules. Bonding: Ionic and Covalent Chemical formulas illustrate how chemicals combine. The ability of molecules to break apart and form completely new molecules is called bonding. (Chemicals combine by either ionic or covalent bonding. Tonic bonds are {formed when two atoms exchange electrons, asin the bonding of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) to form table salt (NaCl). Sodium (Na) gives the one electron in its outer shel to the chlorine (Cl) atom that needs one electron to fill its outer shell, In general, elements in Groups IA and IIA form ionic bonds by giving up electrons, while elements in Groups VIA and VIIA form ionic bonds by accepting electrons. Since electrons carry a negative charge, the atom that receives the electron will be slightly negative, in tis case, CI. The atom that ives up the electron will carry a slightly positive charge, ie; Na’. This results in.an uneven distribution of the charge, or polarity, in the molecule. The two (or more) atoms are held together by the attraction of opposite electrical charges. Copyright©2015 SPAN@ International Training, LLC 19SPAN? EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME IL ‘An atom (or molecule) that receives one or more electrons becomes a negative jon, and one that loses one or more electrons becomes a positive ien. The {formation of ions is the reason that such bonding is called This formation of ions isthe principle underlying some detection equipment used in safety and health work. Members of Group IA readily give up electrons and become positive ions. ‘Members of Group VIIA will accept electrons and become negative ions. Salts, such as NaCl (sodium chloride), KBr (potassium bromide) and Nal (sodium Jodide) are the products of reactions between positive and negative ions. Covalent bonds are those formed when electrons are shared between two atoms ina molecule, generally between atoms of the nonmetals. These atoms gain electronic stability by sharing electrons so that they look like the atoms of the noble gas nearest to them in atomic number. This means they appear to have a total of eight valence electrons, the exception is hydrogen which has only two valence electrons. One shared pair of electrons between any two atoms is called a covalent bund, 20 (Copyright©2015 SPAN® International Training, LLCSPAN® EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME IL Periodic Table oF Elements fies + 7 Periods: Horgau! ows of elements Groups: _Verieal Columns of elements (Group IA: Alkali metals rea iret with water o fom alkaline slutons Group IA: Alkine earths enc with wtf form alae sluts ‘Group VIIA: Haloges "sat former" combine with metas to fom sls Group VIDA: Noble gases = original thought be tal nett chemeal eombination To balance equations, one must be certain the equation has the same number of atoms of each kind on both sides ofthe arrow.

When people are exposed to a high level of noise, they almost always exhibit a transient attenuation in their ability to hear. ‘This temporary threshold shift (TTS) usually vanishes a few hours after the exposure. One theory has held that a permanent threshold shift (PTS) is simply the result of a large number of TTSs, each superimposed on the last. According to that theory, avoidance of any demonstrable TTS, should result in no PTS. 2 Copyright©2015 SPANO International TraSPAN® EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME II 34) 35) 36) 31) ‘Answer A is correct because: Glove materials such as butyl rubber or neoprene are generally best for handling acids like hydrochloric acid. Latex allergies are common and need to be considered when selecting gloves for your employees, Answet C is correct because: Every noise problem is comprised of three components: ‘© source of sound enersy path of sound energy © receiver of sound energy Answer D is correet because: OSHA 1910.120 requires an extensive safety and health plan that Includes a safety and health training plan, Extensive requirements are outlined in the HAZWOPER standard on the various levels and complexity of training. Training for responding specialists, such as Hazmat teams, is required but generally the responsibility for this training would fall upon their employer, rather than the owner ofthe clean-up contract. Angwer B is correct because: The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) as defined by American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) refer to "airborne concentrations of substances and represent conditions under which itis believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse health effects". Certainly information about TLVs should be included in welder training, however this question asked about the fire characteristics of hazardous chemicals. TLVs mainly concem health effects and are not indicators of flammability. Selection "B autoignition temperature is defined by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) as "The lowest temperature at which a flammable i ignite from its own heet source or a contacted heat source without the necessity of spark or flame", Selection *C" the Lower Explosive Limit is defined as "The minimum concentration of combustible gas or vapor in air below which propagation of flame does not occur on contact with a source of ignition” ‘Copyright©2015 SPAN@ International Training, LLC 338) 39) 40) 54 SPAN® EXAM STUDY WORKBOOK VOLUME II ‘Selection "D" Upper Explosive Limit is defined as "The maximum ‘concentration of Vapor oF gas in air above which propagation of flame does not occur” ‘Answer A is correct because: ‘The required difference for readability is “S” feet. The use of both ‘written text and pictographs will ensure understanding in a culturally diverse work force. Additionally, signs should be in positive, conc casy to read terms, warn against potential hazards and should not vary in design at the same location and in the identical situation. Answer Cis correct because: Engineering is always the first and most successful method of dealing with a problem. The second choice is to guard the hazard, and the last ‘method is to educate the human element. Some safety texts break down " guarding the hazard” into (1) incorporation of safety devices and (2) providing warning devices. Guarding the hazard i also classified as ‘administrative controls. "Educating personnel" may also be sub-divided into (1) developing and implementing operating procedures and employee training programs and (2) using personal protective equipment. LockoutTagout (LOTO)is considered an administrative control. Another example of an administrative control is to require employees to rest for 10 minutes after working for a set period of time in a high temperature environment. Remember that although engineering isthe first choice to fix aproblem, interim measures such a PPE may have to be used until the engineering fix is completed. ‘Answer B is correct because: The selection of an answer is very difficult because there is individual preference when approaching these problems. However, the preferred answer inthis ease would be to elevate the problem up the management chain until an executive that supports your decison is found.
