Sodium acetate forms explosive mixtures with potassium nitrate (Pieters, H. A. J., Creyghton, J. W., Safety in the Chemical Laboratory, London, Academic Press, 2nd Edition, 1957, pp. 30).
The alkali and alkaline earth metal oxides, and nickel (II) oxide, which are all basic salts, incandesce in cold fluorine. (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. Vol. 1, pp. 1412).
Basic salts may liberate toxic halogenated amine gases upon exposure to halogenated oxidizing agents (Predicted by comparison to similar reactions).
Potential Gas Byproducts
