CONDITIONS TO AVOID: INCOMPATIBLES.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):
HAZARDOUS REACTION IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION MAY OCCUR WITH CHLORINE,
HYPOCHLOROUS ACID, HYPOCHLORITES, CYANIDES, NITRIC ACID, OR SULFIDES. AN
EXPLOSION OCCURRED WHEN CHLORINE WAS BEING PASSED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE INTO
A REACTION MIXTURE WHICH INCLUDED SULFAMIC ACID AND WATER. IT IS SUSPECTED
THAT NITROGEN TRICHLORIDE, A VERY SENSITIVE EXPLOSIVE, WAS FORMED. FUMING
NITRIC ACID COMBINED WITH SULFAMIC ACID CAUSES VIOLENT RELEASES OF NITROUS
OXIDE.
