chloroethane usage and synthesis |
chemical properties |
colourless gas |
general description |
a clear colorless gas with a pungent odor. flash point -58°f. boiling point 54°f. less dense than water and insoluble in water. vapors are heavier than air. under prolonged exposure to fire or heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. |
air & water reactions |
highly flammable. insoluble in water. |
reactivity profile |
chloroethane is heat sensitive. chloroethane will hydrolyze in the presence of alkalis and water. chloroethane reacts with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes. chloroethane can also react vigorously with oxidizing materials. the vapor forms highly flammable mixtures with air. a mixture of chloroethane with potassium is shock-sensitive. contact with chemically active metals such as na, k, ca, powdered al, zn and mg may result in violent reactions. |
health hazard |
vapor causes drunkenness, anesthesia, possible lung injury. liquid may cause frostbite on eyes and skin. |
