- Why is isopropyl alcohol (main ingredient in rubbing alcohol) used as a disinfectant?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the BOD test is FALSE?  The standard test for BOD is the five-day (BOD5) test carried out in the dark at 20 °C  There is an indirect correlation between the BOD5 value and the level of organic pollutants.  BOD test measures the oxygen consumed by microorganisms as they break down organic material  BOD test is a simple anarrow_forwardI understand there is a broad list of ethanol-induced adverse effects on individuals resulting from a broad range of complex interactions between physical, genetic, environmental, behavioral, and social factors. From a health/science perspective, there are many pathologies that result from the consumption of alcohol. My book gives examples of, liver alcohol disease may start with a fatty liver, then progress to alcoholic hepatitis, and then to alcoholic cirrhosis. In alcoholic cirrhosis, damage from repeated and excessive alcohol abuse results in scars in the liver. As a result, the body can’t produce enough proteins or filter toxins out of the blood as it should. But .....what is the best way you can explain why drinking ethanol damages the liver? if you can please break it down in steps?arrow_forward
- The organic lab program generates around 200 liters of non-halogenated organic waste every week. A student accidentally added some halogenated organic waste to a waste container that entered the non-halogenated waste stream. The cost to dispose of 1.000 liter of non-halogenated organic waste is $20.27 The cost to dispose of 1.000 liter of halogenated organic waste is $89.71 Due to the error, how much extra money will it cost to dispose of 210.9 liters of the waste that week?arrow_forwardWhy do you think our society has mixed feelings about ethanol consumption? The legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old. Should it be changed? Why or why not?arrow_forward
