Canonical SMILES: CC[O-].[K+]
InChI: InChI=1S/C2H5O.K/c1-2-3;/h2H2,1H3;/q-1;+1
InChIKey: RPDAUEIUDPHABB-UHFFFAOYSA-N
Classification Code: TSCA Flag P [A commenced PMN (Premanufacture Notice) substance]
Stability: Stable, but highly flammable. Reacts violently with water. Contact with damp air may lead to heating of the solid, which could in turn ignite it, or materials with which it is in contact. Incompatible with air, water, moisture, acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, oxidizing agents, reducing agents.
May ignite in moist air. Reacts with H2O to form EtOH and KOH. When heated to decomposition it emits flammable and toxic fumes of H2 and C2H4.
