Safety | A poison. Rapidly decomposed by water and acids. In powder form, it ignites spontaneously in air and reacts vigorously with water. Coarser material ignites when heated in oxygen. Moisture-sensitive, reacts with H2O with formation of Ba(OH)2 and H2. Decomp on heating with evolution of H2 gas and formation of Sr. It is incompatible with water; acids; and metal halogenates. A dangerous fire hazard because moisture may cause it to ignite. To fight fire, use dry chemical, graphite, CO2. See also BARIUM COMPOUNDS (soluble) and HYDRIDES. | Risk Codes | 15 |
