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.).
BrF5 reacts violently and may ignite on contact with nitric acid or sulfuric acid (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd., Volume 2, Supplemental 1, pp. 172.).
Phosphorus halides ignite or explode on contact with HNO3 (Mellor, J.W. 1947. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd., Vol. 8, pp. 827, 1004, 1038.).
ClF3 reacts violently with HNO3 or H2SO4 (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd., Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 157.).
Oxidizing acids may liberate toxic HX, Cl2, F2 and ClO2 gases when exposed to strong halogenating agents (Predicted).
