| | Nitrosyl chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| General Description | A yellow to yellowish red gas. Liquefies at -5.5°C. Very toxic by inhalation. Noncombustible, but accelerates burning of combustible material. Decomposed by water to form corrosive hydrochloric acid. Vapors heavier than air. Prolonged exposure to fire or heat can cause containers to rupture violently and rocket . | | Air & Water Reactions | Dissolves into and reacts with moisture in the air or with water to form hydrochloric acid and toxic red oxides of nitrogen. | | Reactivity Profile | Nitrosyl chloride is an oxidizing agent. Dissociates into nitric oxide and chlorine on heating. Gives an explosive reaction when sealed in a tube with a residue of acetone and in the presence of platinum catalyst [Chem. Eng. News 35(43):60. 1967]. May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291]. | | Health Hazard | Gas is highly toxic. Inhalation causes severe irritation of respiratory tract and damage to mucous membranes. Delayed effects, which include severe pulmonary edema, may not be apparent for several hours. | | Fire Hazard | Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Very toxic gases are generated when heated |
