- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
Heptane and hexane can react vigorously and exothermically with chlorosulfonic acid, producing toxic HCl gas, which can cause pressurization (CIHSC. 1986. Chemical Safety Summary 57(226):65.).
Organic materials (and ammonia) are violently oxidized when mixed with an oxidizing agent. (Majer, V., Chemic (Prague), 1948, 3, 90-91)
Halogenated oxidizing acids may react with saturated hydrocarbons to liberate toxic HX gases including HF, HBr, and HI (Predicted by comparison to similar reactions).
Saturated hydrocarbons may liberate CO2 and toxic CO gases upon exposure to oxidizing acids (Predicted).
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Hydrogen Halide (HX)
