Based off these compounds, which one is the most hazardous and why?
Methyl Benzoate
Acetanilide
Nitric Acid (70%)
Acetic acid
Sulfuric Acid (98%)
Concentrated Sulphuric Acid(98%) is the most Hazardous.
Methyl Benzoate is an ester. Esters have low to moderate toxicity via dermal and oral exposure. Some esters are used as flavoring agents in foodstuffs
Acetanilide is an amide exposure to Acetanilide that may cause skin eruptions; anemia and cyanosis.
Among Nitric acid, Acetic Acid (Weak Acid) and Sulfuric Acid, Sulphuric Acid is most hazardous.
