Deck General USCG Q#721 (Set 22)

According to the Chemical Data Guide, what are the flammable limits of ethylene oxide?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 2 - 100%

Ethylene oxide possesses an extraordinarily wide flammable range from 2% to 100% by volume in air. This extreme reactivity allows it to burn or detonate in the absence of atmospheric oxygen, demanding rigorous inerting procedures under 46 CFR.
