<br /> Reactivity Alerts
<br /> #,,,Strong Oxidizing Agent
<br /> Water-Reactive
<br /> Air&Water Reactions
<br /> Water dissolves about twice its volume of chlorine gas,forming a mixture of hydrochloric acid and
<br /> hypochlorous acids.Will be corrosive due to acidity and oxidizing potential.
<br /> Fire Hazard
<br /> May ignite other combustible materials (wood,paper,oil,etc.).Mixture with fuels may cause explosion.
<br /> Container may explode in heat of fire. Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors,outdoors or in sewers.
<br /> Hydrogen and chlorine mixtures (5-95%)are exploded by almost any form of energy(heat, sunlight, sparks,
<br /> etc.). May combine with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrochloric acid.Emits
<br /> highly toxic fumes when heated.Avoid plastics and rubber.Avoid heat and contact with hydrogen gas or
<br /> powdered metals. (EPA, 1998)
<br /> Health Hazard
<br /> Poisonous,may be fatal if inhaled. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes.Bronchitis or chronic lung
<br /> conditions. (EPA, 1998)
<br /> Reactivity Prorile
<br /> CHLORINE reacts explosively with or supports the burning of numerous.common materials.Ignites steel at
<br /> 100° C in the presence of soot,rust,carbon, or other catalysts.Ignites dry steel wool at 50°C.Reacts as either a
<br /> liquid or gas with alcohols(explosion),molten aluminum(explosion),silane(explosion),bromine
<br /> pentafluoride,carbon disulfide(explosion catalyzed by iron),1-chloro-2-propyne(excess chlorine causes an
<br /> explosion),dibutyl phthalate{explosion at 118° C),diethyl ether(ignition),diethyl zinc(ignition), glycerol
<br /> (explosion at 70-80°C),methane over yellow mercury oxide(explosion),acetylene(explosion initiated by
<br /> sunlight or heating),ethylene over mercury, mercury(l)oxide, or silver(I)oxide(explosion initiated by heat or
<br /> light),gasoline(exothermic reaction then detonation);naphtha-sodium hydroxide mixture(violent explosion),
<br /> zinc chloride(exothermic reaction);wax(explosion),hydrogen(explosion initiated by light).Reacts as either a
<br /> liquid or gas with carbides of iron,uranium and zirconium,with hydrides of potassium sodium and copper,with
<br /> tin,aluminum powder,vanadium powder, aluminum foil,brass foil,copper foil,calcium powder; iron wire,
<br /> manganese powder,potassium,antimony powder,bismuth,germanium,magnesium, sodium, and zinc. Causes
<br /> ignition and a mild explosion when bubbled through cold methanol.Explodes or ignites if mixed in excess with
<br /> ammonia and warmed. Causes ignition in contact with hydrazine,hydroxylamine,and calcium nitride.Forms
<br /> explosive nitrogen trichloride from biuret contaminated with cyanuric acid.Readily forms an explosive N
<br /> chloro derivative with aziridine.Ignites or explodes with arsine,phosphine, silane,diborane, stibine,red
<br /> phosphorus,white phosphorus,boron,active carbon, silicon, arsenic. Ignites sulfides at ambient temperature.
<br /> Ignites(as a liquid)synthetic and natural rubber.Ignites trialkylboranes and tungsten dioxide.
<br /> Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
