Hazard Predictions
- Potentially hazardous: May be hazardous but unknown
When combined, strong oxidizers and azo, diazo, and azido compounds may react with intensity, as shown in the examples below. However, no specific evidence was found for a hazardous reaction between weak oxidizers and noble metals. 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.
NaN3 reacts explosively with chromyl chloride (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Vol. 8, Supplemental 2.2. pp. 36).
NaN3 reacts violently with chromium hypochlorite (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 3064).
