7578-36-1 Usage
General Description
Boron trifluoride-acetic acid complex is a colorless liquid with a penetrating odor. Boron trifluoride-acetic acid complex is soluble in water. Boron trifluoride-acetic acid complex is corrosive to metals and tissue.
Air & Water Reactions
In moist air forms dense white fumes pungent, corrosive to skin, avoid inhalation [Merck 11th ed. 1989]. Reacts in water.
Reactivity Profile
A very corrosive, moisture-sensitive liquid, when heated to decomposition Boron trifluoride-acetic acid complex emits toxic fumes of fluoride and oxides of boron [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 189].
Health Hazard
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death. Reaction with water or moist air will release toxic, corrosive or flammable gases. Reaction with water may generate much heat that will increase the concentration of fumes in the air. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Vapors may accumulate in confined areas (basement, tanks, hopper/tank cars etc.). Substance will react with water (some violently), releasing corrosive and/or toxic gases and runoff. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated with water.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7578-36-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,5,7 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7578-36:
(6*7)+(5*5)+(4*7)+(3*8)+(2*3)+(1*6)=131
131 % 10 = 1
So 7578-36-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
