Reactivity Profile
COPPER combines violently with chlorine trifluoride in the presence of carbon [Mellor 2, Supp. 1, 1956]. Is
oxidized by sodium peroxide with incandescence [Mellor 2:490-93, 1946-1947]. Forms an unstable acetylide
when acetylene is passed over samples that have been heated enough to form an oxide coating. Reacts more
rapidly in powdered or granular form. Subject to explosive reaction then mixed in finely divided form with
finely divided bromates chlorates and iodates of barium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, or zinc;

Reactivity Profile
Page 14 of 31
ETHANOL reacts violently with acetyl chloride and acetyl bromide [Rose, (1961); Merck 11th ed., 1989].
Mixtures with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide can cause explosions. Mixtures with
concentrated hydrogen peroxide form powerful explosives. Reacts readily with hypochlorous acid and with
chlorine to give ethyl hypochlorite, which decomposes in the cold and explodes on exposure to sunlight or
heat. Base-catalysed reactions with isocyanates should be carried out in inert solvents. Such reactions in the
absence of solvents often occur with explosive violence [Wischmeyer(1969)]. Highly oxidized potassium
metal was dropped into a dish of ethyl alcohol, an immediate explosion shattered the dish. Potassium
superoxide was considered the cause of the reaction [Health and Safety Inf. 251(1967)]. Ethanol or methanol
can ignite on contact with a platinum-black catalyst. (Urben 1794).
• Alcohols and Polyols

Use caution: Liquids with this reactive group classification have been known to react with the absorbent listed
below.
• Cellulose-Based Absorbents

Excerpt from GUIDE 127 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible)]:
As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all
directions.
LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet).
FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions;
also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)
Firefighting
CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be
inefficient. CAUTION: For fire involving UN1170, UN1987 or UN3475, alcohol-resistant foam should be
used.
SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.
LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not use straight streams. Move containers from
fire area if you can do it without risk.
FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use
unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank.
ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor
nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)
Page 15 of 31
Non-Fire Response
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used
when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you
can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor-
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-
combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not
prevent ignition in closed spaces. (ERG, 2016)

First Aid
EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or
normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.
Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a
physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as
redness or irritation) develop.
Page 16 of 31
SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated
clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or
irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for
treatment.
INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms
(such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a
physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to
rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective
Clothing.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Volatile chemicals have a high risk of being aspirated into the
victim's lungs during vomiting which increases the medical problems. If the victim is conscious and not
convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison
control center. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious,
do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with
the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a
hospital. (NTP, 1992)

Health Hazard
Page 19 of 31
Headache, dizziness and loss of consciousness may occur. Death from ``smothering'' may occur if oxygen
content of the air is severely reduced by dilution with acetylene. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
ACETYLENE reacts with alkali metals, forming hydrogen gas. Acetylene can react explosively with bromine
[Von Schwartz 1918. p.142]. Acetylene forms a sensitive acetylide when passed into an aqueous solution of
mercuric nitrate [Mellor 4:933. 1946-47]. An acetylene torch used to drill through a plow frame, which was
filled with hydrogen gas, produced an explosion [NIOSH, June 1998]. It reacts with silver, copper and lead to
form sensitive, explosive salts. Since acetylene is endothermic and effectively a reducing agent, its reaction
with oxidants can be very violent (examples: calcium hypochlorite, nitric acid, nitrogen oxide, ozone,
trifluoromethyl hypofluorite, etc.). Contact of very cold liquefied gas with water may result in vigorous or
violent boiling of the product and extremely rapid vaporization, due to the large temperature differences
involved. If the water is hot, there is the possibility that a liquid "superheat" explosion may occur. Pressures
may build to dangerous levels if liquid gas contacts water in a closed container [Handling Chemicals Safely
1980]. Acetylene and ammonia can form explosive silver salts in contact with Ag. (Renner, Hermann, Gunther
Schlamp. "Silver, Silver Compounds, and Silver Alloys." Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry.
Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. 2001.).

Fire Hazard
Excerpt from GUIDE 157 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible / Water-Sensitive)]:
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or
toxic fumes. For UN1796, UN1826, UN2031 at high concentrations and for UN2032, these may act as
oxidizers, also consult GUIDE 140. Vapors may accumulate in confined areas (basement, tanks, hopper/tank
cars, etc.). Substance may react with water (some violently), releasing corrosive and/or toxic gases and runoff.
Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated or if
contaminated with water. (ERG, 2016)
Health Hazard
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause severe injury,
burns or death. Reaction with water or moist air may release toxic, corrosive or flammable gases. Reaction
with water may generate much heat that will increase the concentration of fumes in the air. Fire will produce
irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or
toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Reactivity Profile
NITRIC ACID, RED FUMING is a powerful oxidizing agent and nitrating agent. Accelerates the burning of
combustible material and may cause charring and then ignition of combustible materials. May ignite alcohols,
amines, ammonia, beryllium alkyls, boranes, dicyanogen, hydrazines, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, nitroalkanes,
powdered metals, silanes, or thiols on contact [Bretherick 1979. p.174]. Can react violently with finely divided
antimony [Pascal 10:504. 1931-34]. Reacts violently with bromine pentafluoride [Mellor 2, Supp. 1:172.
1956]. Reacts with hydrogen selenide and hydrogen sulfide with incandescence [Berichte 3:658]. Mixtures
with finely divided magnesium are explosive [Pieters 1957 p. 28]. Oxidizes magnesium phosphide with
incandescence [Mellor 8:842. 1946-47]. Mixtures with acetic anhydride containing over 50% nitric acid by
mass may act as detonating explosives [BCISC 42:2. 1971]. An etching agent prepared with equal portions of
acetone, nitric acid, and 75% aqueous acetic acid exploded four hours after it was prepared and placed in a
closed bottle. The explosive material may have been tetranitromethane [Chem. Eng. News 38: 56. 1960].
Reacts violently with phosphine [Edin. Roy. Soc. 13:88. 1835]. Explodes in contact with phosphorus
trichloride [Comp. Rend. 28:86]. Reacts exothermically with phthalic acid or phthalic anhydride in the
presence of sulfuric acid to give potentially explosive phthaloyl nitrates or nitrites or nitro derivatives of these
compounds [Chem. & Ind. 20:790. 1972]. Reacts energetically with sodium azide [Mellor 8, Supp 2:315.
1967]. Reacts with uranium with explosive violence [Katz and Rabinowitch 1951].

listed below.
Page 25 of 31
• Cellulose-Based Absorbents
• Expanded Polymeric Absorbents

As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150
feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids.
SPILL: See ERG Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances on the UN/NA 2032 datasheet.
FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions;
also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)
Firefighting
Note: Some foams will react with the material and release corrosive/toxic gases.
SMALL FIRE: CO2 (except for Cyanides), dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam.
LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it
without risk. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do
not scatter the material.
FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use
unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting
safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)
Non-Fire Response
when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless
wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. A vapor-suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. Use water spray to reduce
vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material. Prevent entry into
waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
SMALL SPILL: Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic
sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect material and place it
into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. (ERG, 2016)

Remove: Work clothing that becomes wet or significantly contaminated should be removed and replaced.
shift.
Provide: Eyewash fountains should be provided (when concentration is pH<2.5) in areas where there is any
possibility that workers could be exposed to the substance; this is irrespective of the recommendation
involving the wearing of eye protection. Facilities for quickly drenching the body should be provided (when
concentration is pH<2.5) within the immediate work area for emergency use where there is a possibility of
exposure. [Note: It is intended that these facilities provide a sufficient quantity or flow of water to quickly
remove the substance from any body areas likely to be exposed. The actual determination of what constitutes
an adequate quick drench facility depends on the specific circumstances. In certain instances, a deluge shower
should be readily available, whereas in others, the availability of water from a sink or hose could be
considered adequate.] (NIOSH, 2003)

General Description
A clear, nontoxic liquid composed of hydrogen and oxygen, essential for life and the most widely used
solvent. Include water in a mixture to learn how it could react with other chemicals in the mixture.

None
Fire Hazard
Health Hazard
Water itself is nontoxic and is in fact essential for life. Solutes dissolved in water may be toxic, but those
interactions are covered by the reactive groups that the solute belongs to.
Reactivity Profile
Water reacts with many substances, including but not limited to alkali metals, hydrides, strong halogenating
agents, and chlorosilanes. These reactions can be hazardous and may result in flammable or toxic gas
production, or generation of excessive heat that may cause pressurization to occur. Another reactive hazard is
heat of mixing. Mixing substances such as sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide with water may generate
significant heat. Additionally, water is a good solvent for polar molecules, so it can form aqueous solutions if
it comes into contact with such molecules.
