Hazard Predictions

Carbon can ignite or explode on contact with halogens or interhalogens (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 125).

Mixtures of hydrogen and fluorine can explode under ambient conditions if fluorine is in excess (A. D. Kirshenbaum, 1956, Final Report on Fundamental Studies of New Explosive Reactions, Philadelphia, Research Institute of Temple University, pp. 46.).

H2 ignites on contact with BrF5 (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp. 1, p. 172. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Sulfur, phosphorus, selenium, and tellurium ignite on contact with F2 at ambient temperatures (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 11, 12. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 60; 1946. Volume 5. pp. 785, 822; 1940. Volume 6. pp. 161; 1939. Volume 9. pp. 34; 1943. Volume 11. pp. 26.).

ClF3 reacts violently and may ignite on contact with red phosphorus or sulfur (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1237.).

H2 forms explosive mixtures with bromine (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp. 1, p. 707. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Mixtures of H2 and Cl2 are explosive, and can be initiated by several means, including sparks and heat (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp. 1, p. 373-375. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Reaction between IF5 and sulfur, boron, silicon, red phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, or bismuth is often incandescent, posing a fire hazard (The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Sidgwick, N.V., Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1950, pp. 1159).

BrF3 incandesces with sulfur, phosphorus, or carbon, posing a fire hazard (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 113. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 164-167).

Reaction of phosphorus halides and sulfuric or chlorosulfonic acids can be violently exothermic (Dillon, K.B. et al. 1979. Journal of the Chemical Society, Dalton Trans. 885-887.).
