Hazards <br /> Reactivity Alerts <br /> Nater-Reactive <br /> Air&Water Reactions <br /> Soluble in water with evolution of heat. The amount of heat generated may be large; <br /> Fire Hazard <br /> Mixing of ammonia with several chemicals can cause severe fire hazards and/or explosions.Ammonia in <br /> container may explode in heat of fire.Incompatible with many materials including silver and gold salts, <br /> halogens,alkali metals,nitrogen trichloride,potassium chlorate,chromyl chloride,oxygen halides, acid vapors, <br /> azides,ethylene oxide,picric acid and many other chemicals. Mixing with other chemicals and water. <br /> Hazardous polymerization may not occur. (EPA, 1998) <br /> Health Hazard <br /> Vapors cause irritation of eyes and respiratory tract.Liquid will bum skin and eyes.Poisonous;may be fatal if <br /> inhaled.Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact with liquid may cause frostbite. (EPA, 1998) <br /> Reactivity Profile <br /> AMMONIA is a base.Reacts exothermically with all acids.Violent reactions are possible.Readily combines <br /> with silver oxide or mercury to form compounds that explode on contact with halogens.When in contact with <br /> chlorates it forms explosive ammonium chlorate [Kirk-Othmer, 3rd ed.,Vol.2, 1978,p 470].Reacts violently <br /> or produces explosive products with fluorine,chlorine,bromine and iodine and some of the interhalogen <br /> compounds (bromine pentafluoride, chlorine trifluoride).Mixing of bleaching powder(hypochlorite solution) <br /> with ammonia solutions produces toxic/explosive ammonia trichloride vapors.Undergoes potentially violent or <br /> explosive reactions on contact with 1,2-dichloroethane(with liquid ammonia),boron halides,ethylene oxide <br /> (polymerization),perchlorates or strong oxidants (chromyl chloride, chromium trioxide,chromic acid,nitric <br /> acid,hydrogen peroxide,chlorates,fluorine,nitrogen oxide, liquid oxygen).Reacts with silver chloride, silver <br /> oxide,silver nitrate or silver azide to form the explosive silver nitride.May react with some heavy metal <br /> compounds (mercury, gold(III)chloride)to produce materials that may explode when dry_ [Bretherick,5th ed., <br /> 1995,p. 1553]. <br /> Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s) <br /> Bases,Weak <br /> Potentially Incompatible Absorbents <br /> No information available. <br /> Response Recommendations <br /> Isolation and Evacuation .. <br /> Excerpt from GUIDE 125 [Gases-Corrosive] <br /> As an immediate precautionary measure,isolate spill or leak area for at least 100 meters(3 30 feet)in all <br /> http://127.0.0.1;54673/report?key=CH4860 4/15/2015 <br />
