일반 설명
Zinc nitrate is a colorless crystalline solid. Noncombustible, but accelerates the burning of combustible materials. If large quantities are involved in a fire or the combustible material is finely divided, an explosion may result. Prolonged exposure to fire or heat may result in an explosion. Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced in fires involving Zinc nitrate . Zinc nitrate is used as a catalyst in the manufacture of other chemicals, in medicine, and in dyes.
공기와 물의 반응
Water soluble.
반응 프로필
Zinc nitrate is an oxidizing agent. Reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 967]; mixtures of Zinc nitrate s with alkyl esters may explode owing to the formation of alkyl nitrates; mixtures with phosphorus, tin (II) chloride, or other reducing agents may react explosively [Bretherick 1979. p. 108-109].
건강위험
Inhalation of dust may irritate nose and throat. Ingestion can cause irritation or corrosion of the alimentary tract. Contact with eyes causes irritation, which may be delayed. Contact with skin causes irritation.
Safety Profile
A powerful oxidizer.
Can react violently with C, Cu, metal
sulfides, organic matter, P, S. When heated
to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of
NOx and ZnO. See also NITRATES and
ZINC COMPOUNDS.
