The el was concerned that one possible contamination was benzene. in a well constructed paragraph, explain why benzene was not provided during general chemistry lab as a possible contaminant. your paragraph should include specific facts regarding benzene and its structure; be sure to use the crc handbook or other reliable internet source to provide facts. provide complete reference citations for all resources.

Benzene is an important organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6 and a ring structure. Benzene was not provided as a contaminant during the general chemistry lab because, it is does not have the same chemical composition like the other two chemicals, that is, toluene and melthyl benzene. Also, due to the nature of benzene, it does not remain in the environment for a long time, thus it will be difficult to measure and isolate it. Also, benzene is a toxic compound and it poses a threat to the safety of the lab users. Benzene has been classified as a known carcinogen.
