Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Answer
Hi folks - Here is the Element Quiz answer:
The Question:
This element is associated with Thomas Midgley and has had a global
impact on multiple levels. This element has been used for thousands of
years. What element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Lead (Pb)! The element derives its name from the Latin word
"plumbum". The Romans used lead in their plumbing systems, some of which
still functioning today. Thomas Midgley Jr. has the unfortunate
distinction of being associated with two of the biggest global
environmental issues: tetraethyl lead and CFCs! Midgley was a chemist on
the General Motors Dayton Research Labs teams that introduced tetraethyl
lead and one of the first CFC materials (Freon 12). In 1921 he gave himself
lead poisoning while demonstrating the tetraethyl lead was not harmful to
humans (he inhaled the chemical fumes for several minutes).
The winner of the weekly element quiz is James Head, Crowcon Detection
Instruments Limited, and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios
for the week. The boys left from Graham's house today and are heading
across the pond for Heathrow on a cargo flight. They should be to James's
facility by late today.
The Element Quiz Arbitration Board (EQAB) reviewed Doug's submission of
"Ethylium" and has initially rejected his submission as the correct
response. A search of the Dayton Research Laboratories records finds no
indications of a connection to Mrs. Midgley. However, the EQAB has
initiated testing of both Diet Coke and Diet Mt. Dew for the presence of
Ethylium as the effect Doug detailed has been observed when Doug, Dave, the
Rockwell Collins minions,the TechNet forum, the IPC committees and various
other segments of the industry consume those two beverages. EQAB plans on
having Bev Christian conduct detailed FTIR assessment for the presence of
Ethylium since Bev's lab has a very extensive FTIR library on beverages as
they relate to being spilled on cell phones.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
