Hazard Predictions

KOH and hyponitrous acid ignite on contact (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 8, p. 407. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Potasium tert-butoxide ignites on contact with H2SO4 (Manwaring, R. et al. 1973. Chemistry and Industry 172.).

Reactions between acids and KOH can be violent (MCA Case History No. 920, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Washington, Manufacturing Chemists' Association.).

The reaction of strong oxidizing acids and strong bases is exothermic and is predicted to generate corrosive fumes due to the heat of reaction.
