Which of the following is not a good technique for managing used oil? a) have specific, labeled catch pans available for technicians who are collecting oil b) spills in your shop and any releases on pavement or outside should be poured down a drain c) do not use oil containers for antifreeze or other non-similar fluids d) be prepared for oil spills with the proper absorbents

The answer is: B) Spills in your shop and any releases on pavement or outside should be poured down a drain.

Pouring used oil down a drain can cause damege to environment.

Oil is nonpolar substance and does not dissolve in the water (polar molecule), used oil remain existent in the drain and sewer or in the environment.

Small spills create a cumulative effect with  significant impact on the  environment.

Untended spills inside  a shop can spread to an inside  drain connected to the storm  sewer system and cause floods.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
