Hazard Predictions

Grinding sodium acetylide with finely divided aluminum, iron, lead, or mercury may result in a vigorous reaction that releases carbon (J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 5, pp. 848. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Diborane forms flammable borohydrides on contact with aluminum (Hazardous Chemical Data. 1975. NFPA 49, Boston, National Fire Protection Association, pp. 114).

A mixture of barium acetylide and selenium incandesces when heated to 150C (J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 5, pp. 862. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Active metals may release flammable H2 gas upon exposure to metal hydrides (Predicted).
