The reaction of sodium carbonate and H2SO4 is violent and evolves CO2 gas (MCA Case History No. 888, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Washington, Manufacturing Chemists' Association).
Basic salts may react with oxidizing acids to liberate, toxic NOx and SO2, and inert CO2 gases (Predicted).
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
- Halogen Oxides (XO2)
