13863-88-2 Silver azide
Name: Silver azide
Synonyms:
Silverazide; Silver monoazide; Silver(1+) azide
CAS Number:13863-88-2
Molecular Formula:AgN3
Molecular Weight:149.87
EINECS:
Density:g/cm3
Boiling Point:°Cat760mmHg
Flash Point:°C
Safety Description:Explodes when heated above 270°C or on impact. Pure silver azide explodes at 340°. An electric field or irradiation by electron pulses can explode the crystals. Shock-sensitive when dry and has detonated @ 250°C. Solutions in aqueous ammonia explode above 100°C. Reacts to form more explosive products with iodine (forms iodine azide); bromine and other halogens. The presence of metal oxides or metal sulfides increases the azide's sensitivity to explosion. Mixtures with sulfur dioxide are explosive. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AZIDES and SILVER COMPOUNDS.
