Acetone cyanohydrin NOAA Chemical Reactivity Worksheet
{"Image DocumentName": "Acetone cyanohydrin NOAA Chemical Reactivity Worksheet", "Image ImageDescription": "Chemical Profile. Readily decomposes to acetone and poisonous hydrogen cyanide gas on contact with water, acids (sulfuric acid) or when exposed to heat. Should be kept cool and slightly acidic (pH 4-5) [Sax, 2nd ed., 1965, p. 388]. Slowly dissociates to acetone, a flammable liquid, and hydrogen cyanide, a flammable poisonous gas, under normal storage and transportation conditions. Rate of dissociation increased by contact with alkalis and/or heat. Special Hazards. \u00b7 Water-reactive. \u00b7 No rapid reaction with air. Air and Water Reactions. Soluble in water. Readily decomposes. on contact with water to form acetone. and poisonous hydrogen cyanide. General Description. A colorless liquid. Flash point 165\u00b0F. Lethal by inhalation and highly toxic or lethal by skin absorption. Density 7.8 lb / gal (less dense than water). Vapors heavier than air. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion (\u00a9 AAR, 1999).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
