Hazard Predictions

• Explosive: Reaction products may be explosive or sensitive to shock or friction
• Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
• Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive

While reactions between nitrates or nitrites and an alcohol functional group are not common, they are strong oxidizers and can react explosively on contact with combustible organic materials (Predicted).

Combinations of silver nitrate and ethanol have been shown to form silver fulminate, which is an extremely unstable, shock and friction sensitive compound. Explosions in labs have occurred due to these mixtures (J. Chem. Educ., 1986, 63 (11), p 1016).

In general, nitrate and nitrite salts with redox active cations are more reactive with organic materials and reducing agents at ambient conditions. Redox active cations are transition metals and the metals in group 3a, 4a, and 5a of the periodic table and also include the ammonium cation NH4+. In general, nitrate and nitrite salts with non-redox active cations (also called spectator cations) are less reactive at ambient conditions. These include the alkali metals and alkaline earth salts. 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.
