and OSHA). | | Stability: | Strong oxidising agent - reacts with combustible materials, metals, acids, water. Decomposes in water. Explosion risk. Non-flammable, but fire-promoting. | | EPA Substance Registry System | Bromine trifluoride (7787-71-5) |
| BROMINE TRIFLUORIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | fuming colourless or light yellow liquid, | | Chemical Properties | Bromine trifluoride is a noncombustible, colorless
to gray-yellow fuming liquid. Extremely irritating odor. | | Physical properties | Colorless liquid; hygroscopic; density 2.803 g/mL; boils at 125.8°C; solidifies at 8.8°C; vapor pressure 8 torr at 21°C; decomposes violently in water. | | Uses | The commercial uses of this compound arevery limited. It is used as a solvent forfluorides. | | Uses | Solvent for fluorides. | | Preparation | Bromine trifluoride may be prepared by fluorination of bromine at 80°C. The halogen mixtures may be diluted in nitrogen or an inert gas. | | General Description | A colorless to yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Solidifies at 48°F. Very toxic by inhalation and corrosive to metals and tissue. Containers exposed to prolonged heat may violently rupture and rocket. | | Air & Water Reactions | Fumes in air. Reacts with water with explosive force, oxygen being evolved [Handbook of Chemistry and Physics]. | | Reactivity Profile | BROMINE TRIFLUORIDE is a very reactive oxidizing agent. Reacts violently on contact with water to evolve oxygen. Accelerates the burning of combustible material. Mixing with the following hydrogen-containing substances is likely to cause a fire or explosion: acetic acid, ammonia, benzene, ethanol, 2-pentanone, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, methane, cork, grease paper , wax. Mixing with acids, halogens, ammonium halides, metal halides, metals, nonmetals, or metal oxides at ambient or slightly above ambient temperatures has resulted in violent reactions. Specifically, reacts dangerously with nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chlorine, iodine, ammonium chloride, potassium iodide, boron powder, selenium, tellurium, aluminum powder, bismuth, cobalt powder, iron powder, arsenic, nickel powder, chromium trioxide, charcoal, red phosphorus, sulfur dioxide, magnesium oxide. | | Hazard | Corrosive to skin. Very reactive and dan-
gerous.
| | Health Hazard | The vapors of bromine trifluoride are highlyirritating to the eyes, skin, and mucousmembranes. Upon contact with the skin, theliquid can cause severe burns. The toxicitydata for this compound are not available. | | Health Hazard | Inhalation causes severe irritation of upper respiratory system. Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns of eyes and can cause ulcers and blindness. Contact with skin causes severe burns. Ingestion causes severe burns of mucous membranes. | | Fire Hazard | Behavior in Fire: Forms very toxic and irritating fumes. | | Safety Profile | Poisonous and
corrosive. Very reactive, a powerful oxidizer.

dangerous. See also BROMINE | | Potential Exposure | Bromine Trifluoride is used as a fluorinating
agent and an electrolytic solvent. | | Shipping | UN1746 Bromine trifluoride, Hazard class 5.1;
Labels: 5.1—Oxidizer, 6.1—Poison Inhalation Hazard, 8—
Corrosive material, Inhalation Hazard Zone B. | | Incompatibilities | A powerful oxidizer; highly reactive and
a dangerous explosion hazard. Contact with water or other
hydrogen containing materials forms hydrogen fluoride gas.
Reacts with almost all elements except for inert gases.
Violent reaction with reducing agents; organic materials;
strong acids; strong bases; halogens, salts (antimony salts),
metal oxides; and many other materials. Attacks some plastics,
rubber, or coatings. |
