- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
In much the same way that water reacts with chlorosilanes, weak acids will react to form toxic and corrosive HCl fumes in moist air (Predicted by comparison with similar reactions). These reactions may be rapid and vigorous. 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. The generation of gases may be rather slow, however confinement may lead to dangerous conditions.
Potential Gas Byproducts
