Hydrazoic acid

Hydrazoic acid 화학적 특성, 용도, 생산

• 개요

  Hydrazoic acid or hydrogen azide is a dangerous explosion risk when shocked or heated. It is the gas-forming agent in many air bag systems in automobiles and escape chutes in airplanes.

• 화학적 성질

  Colorless, volatile liquid; obnoxious odor.Soluble in water.

• 물리적 성질

  Colorless, volatile liquid; pungent disagreeable odor; density 1.09 g/mL;solidifies at -80°C; boils at 37°C; highly soluble in water; soluble in alkalies,alcohol and ether; pKa4.6 at 25°C.

• 용도

  Hydrazoic acid is used in making heavymetal azides for detonators. It forms readilywhen sodium azide reacts with acid orhydrazine is mixed with nitrous acid.

• 정의

  A colorless liquid with a nauseating smell. It is highly poisonous and explodes in the presence of oxygen and oxidizing agents. It can be made by distilling a mixture of sodium azide (NaN₃) and a dilute acid. It is usually used as an aqueous solution. The salts of hydrazoic acid (azides), especially lead azide (Pb(N₃)₂), are used in detonators because of their ability to explode when given a mechanical shock.

• 생산 방법

  Hydrazoic acid is formed (1) by reaction of sodium nitrate with molten sodamide, (2) by reaction of nitrous oxide with molten sodamide, (3) by reaction of nitrous acid and hydrazinium ion (N2H5 + ), (4) by oxidation of hydrazinium salts, (5) by reaction of ethyl nitrite with NaOH solution and acidifying.

• 제조 방법

  Hydrazoic acid is prepared by reacting sulfuric acid with sodium azide:
  H₂SO₄ + NaN₃ → HN₃ + Na₂SO₄
  or by treating hydrazine with nitrous acid:
  N₂H₄ + HNO₂ → HN₃ + 2H₂O
  or by heating sodium amide with nitrous oxide:
  NaNH₂ + N₂O → HN₃ + NaOH

• 화학 반응

  Hydrazoic acid reacts (1) with metals, e.g., magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, to form azides or hydrazoates (or trinitrides), (2) with heavy metal salt solutions to form insoluble azides, e.g., silver azide AgN3, mercury(I) azide HgN3, lead azide PbN6. Silver, mercury(I), and copper(I) azides decompose in the light to form nitrogen plus the metal. (3) It reacts with NH4OH to form ammonium azide NH4·N3, (4) with hydrazine to form hydrazine azide N2H4·HN3, (5) with sodium hypochlorite plus acetic acid to form chlorazide ClN3, explosive, (6) with sodium amalgam to form NH3 with some hydrazine, (7) with potassium permanganate to form nitrogen and H2O.

• 위험도

  Dangerous explosion risk when shocked or heated. Strong irritant to eyes and mucous membranes.

• 건강위험

  The acute toxicity of hydrazoic acidthrough inhalation and other routes of exposurehas been found to be high to very high.The symptoms and the intensity of poisoningare similar to sodium azide. It is, however,less toxic than hydrogen cyanide. Inhumans, inhalation of its vapors can produceirritation of eyes and respiratory tract, bronchitis,headache, dizziness, weakness, anddecreased blood pressure (Matheson 1983).Prolonged exposure to high concentrationscan result in collapse, convulsion, and death.An exposure to 1100 ppm for 1 hour waslethal to rats. Chronic exposure to a lowlevel of this compound in air may producehypotension.
  Animals given intraperitoneal dosages ofhydrazoic acid showed the symptoms ofheavy breathing, convulsions, depression,and fall in blood pressure. It affected thecentral nervous system, but no damage wasobserved in the liver or kidney.
  LD50 value, intraperitoneal (mice): 22 mg/kg.

• 화재위험

  In pure form or highly concentrated solution, hydrazoic acid is a dangerous explosive compound. It is unstable and sensitive to heat and shock. The explosion hazard decreases significantly with more dilute solutions.
  It forms shock-sensitive metal azides when react with metal salts, and fluorine azide with fluorine (Lawless and Smith 1968) and susceptible to form chlorine azide and bromine azide with chlorine gas and bromine vapor. All these products can explode violently on impact. With carbon disulfide it forms a violently explosive salt (Mellor 1946; NFPA 1997).

• 폐기물 처리

  Hydrazoic acid may be destroyed by convertingit to sodium azide. The latter isdecomposed with nitrous acid in a hood(National Research Council 1995). The followingmethod is used. It is diluted in waterto a strength below 5%; or its solution inorganic solvents that is immiscible in wateris shaken vigorously with water in a separatoryfunnel. The aqueous solution containinghydrazoic acid is neutralized with sodiumhydroxide and separated from any organiclayer. Sodium azide, so formed, is destroyedby reacting the aqueous solution with anexcess of sodium nitrite followed by 20%sulfuric acid until the solution is acidic. Thereaction is carried out in a three-necked flaskequipped with a stirrer, a dropping funnel,and a gas outlet line to vent out nitric oxide.The reaction mixture is flushed down thedrain.
