Question

select the correct answer to the question below. when dealing with corrosives storage, this is one of the \donts\: dont separate oxidizing acids (e.g. nitric acid) from organic acids (e.g. acetic acid) and flammable/combustible materials dont ignore bottle discoloration, precipitate formation, or odors associated with corrosive chemical containers or storage cabinets dont separate acids and caustics (i.e. bases) dont separate acids from active metals (e.g., sodium, potassium, and magnesium)

Explanation:

Oxidizing acids can react violently with organic acids, flammable and combustible materials. So they should be separated during storage. This makes the first option a "Don't". The second option is something to be aware of and not a "Don't" for storage. Acids and bases should be separated to prevent dangerous reactions, so the third option is wrong. Acids and active metals can react, so they should be separated, making the fourth option wrong.

Answer:

Don't separate oxidizing acids (e.g. nitric acid) from organic acids (e.g. acetic acid) and flammable/combustible materials
