Hazard Predictions

When combined, strong oxidizers and strong oxidizing acids may react with intensity, as shown in the examples below. However, no specific evidence was found for a hazardous reaction between weak oxidizers and strong oxidizing acids. Because of the nature of the members of the Weak Oxidizing Agents group we would not expect reaction kinetics to yield hazardous conditions. We urge chemists to perform testing to ensure that hazards do not occur under conditions appropriate to the scenario.

Mixtures of sodium dichromate and H2SO4 can react violently with organic residues and fuels (Bradshaw, J.R. 1970. Process Biochemistry 5(11):19).

H2SO4 reacts with exothermically with permanganates to produce highly oxidizing permanganic acid (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1453.).

The reaction of fluorine and perchloric acid produces explosive fluorine perchlorate gas (Rohrbock, G.H. et al. 1947. Journal of the American Chemical Society 69:677-678.).
