Hazard Predictions
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Phenols act as very weak acids, while carbonate salts are weak bases, therefore, acid-base exothermic reactions would be expected with the possible liberation of CO2 (Predicted). Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility. The generation of gases may be rather slow, however confinement may lead to dangerous conditions.
