Hazard Predictions

5-azidotetrazole may explode on contact with acetic acid (Thiele, J. et al. 1895. Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie. 287:238).

Azides may react with acids to form explosive hydrazoic acid, which is a gas at slightly above ambient temperatures (BP 37C) (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition, Volume 2. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 195).

Carboxylic acids may cause azides to decompose to N2 gas (G. L'abbe, "Decomposition and addition reactions of organic azides", Chem. Rev., 1969, 69 (3), pp 345-363).

An acid-base reaction with hydrazine can produce some heat (Predicted).

Aliphatic and aromatic diazo compounds may be decomposed by organic acids, possibly releasing heat and nitrogen gas as reaction products (Predicted).
