Molecular Structure
Other Information
- CAS Registry Number: 10025-85-1
- Transport: 3099
- Flash Point: °C
- Density: 1.72 g/cm3
- Refractive index: 1.492
- Water Solubility: Immiscible
- Safety Statements: Moderately toxic by inhalation. An irritant to the eyes, skin, mucous membranes, and a systemic central nervous system irritant. An explosive sensitive to impact, light, and ultrasound. The solid explodes on melting. The liquid explodes above 60°C. Concentrated solutions are also explosive. Explosive decomposition is initiated by contact with: concentrated ammonia, arsenic, dinitrogen tetraoxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen trisulfide, nitrogen oxide, organic matter, ozone, phosphine, phosphorus, potassium cyanide, potassium hydroxide solutions, selenium, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen iodide. Mixtures with chlorine + hydrogen are potentially explosive. Upon decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl− and NOx. See also CHLORIDES.
- Hazard Symbols: Explodes when heated to approximately 200F (93C) or when exposed to direct sunlight. Toxic by ingestion and inhalation, strong irritant.
