selenium dioxide usage and synthesis |
chemical properties |
yellowish white to reddish powder or crystals |
general description |
a white or creamy-white volatile lustrous crystal or crystalline powder with a pungent sour smell. melting point 340 deg c. density 3.954 g / cm3 . toxic by ingestion and inhalation. |
air & water reactions |
in presence of water will corrode most metals [uscg, 1999]. readily soluble in water forming selenious (selenous) acid. |
reactivity profile |
inorganic oxidizing agents, such as selenium dioxide , react with reducing agents to generate heat and products that may be flammable, combustible, or otherwise reactive. selenium dioxide reacts with water, particularly hot water, to give selenious (selenous) acid, a weak acid that is corrosive. stable to light and heat. rapidly absorbs dry hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide to form the corresponding selenium oxohalide. a good oxidizing agent. reacts oxidatively with ammonia to form dinitrogen gas and selenium [merck]. oxidizes many organic substances. |
health hazard |
absorption of selenium may be demonstrated by presence of the element in the urine and by a garlic-like odor of the breath. inhalation of dust can cause bronchial spasms, symptoms of asphyxiation, and pneumonitis. acute symptoms of ingestion include sternal pain, cough, nausea, pallor, coated tongue, gastrointestinal disorders, nervousness, and conjunctivitis. contact with eyes causes irritation. |
fire hazard |
special hazards of combustion products: sublimes and forms toxic vapors when heated in fire. |
