Hazard Predictions

Benzene will explode on contact with permanganic acid (Fire and Explosion Risks, von Schwartz, E., London, Griffin, 1918, p. 327), peroxomonosulfuric acid (The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Sidgwick, N.V., Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1950, pp. 939), and peroxodisulfuric acid (D'Ans, J. et al. 1910. Berichte. 43, p. 1880; D'Ans, J. et al. 1911. Z. Anorg. Chem. p. 73).

Benzene forms explosive mixtures with nitric acid (Mason, C.M. et al. 1965. Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data 10:173).

Reaction of toluene and a mixture of HNO3 and H2SO4 may accelerate to explosion (Chemistry and Technology of Explosives, Urbanski, T., London, MacMillan, Vol. 1, 1964, p. 140).

Toluene can react violently with nitrating acids, forming explosive nitrocresols (Chemistry and Technology of Explosives, Urbanski, T., London, MacMillan, Vol.1, 1964, pp. 139 and 931).
