Hazard Predictions

When combined, strong oxidizers and strong non-oxidizing acids may react with intensity, as shown in the examples below. However, no specific evidence was found for a hazardous reaction between weak oxidizers and strong non-oxidizing acids. Because of the nature of the members of the Weak Oxidizing Agents group we would not expect reaction kinetics to yield hazardous conditions. We urge chemists to perform testing to ensure that hazards do not occur under conditions appropriate to the scenario.

HCl reacts with oxidizing agents (e.g., H2O2, V2O5), including oxygen, to produce toxic Cl2 gas (Hisham, M.W.M., T.V. Bommaraju. 2004. Hydrogen Chloride. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
