Which is an irritant substance?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Benzene
  2. b Organic peroxide
  3. c Nitrous oxide
  4. d Methanol
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: c Nitrous oxide

Dust, dilute acids, alkalis and nitrous oxide are irritant substances.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Benzene: Benzene is toxic and a health hazard; nitrous oxide is the irritant example.
  • b Organic peroxide: Organic peroxide is explosive, not an irritant.
  • d Methanol: Methanol is a toxic substance, not an irritant.
