SUDAN II is an azo compound. Toxic gases are formed by mixing azo compounds with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals. Explosive combination can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides.
Properties and Applications
red orange. Melting point 166 ℃ (from the glacial acetic acid crystallization out). Soluble in ethanol, acetone and benzene as the red orange. In concentrated sulfuric acid for cherry red, dilution still for cherry red, and then into the orange and red brown with precipitation; In concentrated nitric acid for brilliant orange solution, and then gradually become dark; In 10% of sodium hydroxide solution insoluble, for yellow sanguine. Dye alcohol solution to join concentrated hydrochloric acid for orange solution; Add sodium hydroxide to become red.
