Chemical Properties
colourless to yellow liquid with a pungent odour
Definition
A colorless liquid made by reacting
ammonia with sodium chlorate(I)
(NaOCl). It is formed as an intermediate in
the production of hydrazine. Chloramine is
unstable and changes explosively into ammonium
chloride and nitrogen trichloride.
Definition
A colorless, unstable, pungent liquid; soluble in
water; decomposes (slowly in dilute solution) to
form nitrogen plus hydrochloric acid and ammonium chloride. Mp ?66C, soluble in alcohol and
ether. (Do not confuse with chloramine-T.) Chloramine is an intermediate in the manufacturing of
hydrazine.
General Description
Colorless to yellow liquid with a strong pungent odor.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble
Reactivity Profile
chloramide is sensitive to light, temperature and pH change. chloramide is stable in ethereal solution. The solvent-free material decomposes violently. chloramide reacts with oxidizing materials.
Hazard
Questionable carcinogen.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for chloramide are not available; however, chloramide is probably combustible.
Flammability and Explosibility
Non flammable
