Hazard Predictions

• Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)

Strong acids can catalyze the exothermic dehydration of secondary or tertiary alcohols to alkenes (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 408-410).

Alcohols react with hydrogen halides to give alkyl halides. This reaction is rapid and exothermic at room temperature for tertiary alcohols (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 411-413).

Depending on concentrations, noticeable heat can be generated from the heat of dilution from adding a strong acid to an alcohol.
