This bombardier beetle is spraying a boiling hot liquid thatcontains irritating chemicals, used as a defense mechanismagainst its enemies. The beetle stores two sets of chemicalsseparately in its glands. Using what you learned aboutchemistry in this chapter, propose a possible explanation forwhy the beetle is not harmed by the chemicals it stores andwhat causes the explosive discharge.
