CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Sodium percarbonate appears as a colorless, crystalline solid. Denser than water. May combust in contact with organic materials. Contact may irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | White granular powder |
| Melting Point | No melting point; decomposes at >50 °C |
| Solubility | Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20 °C: 14 (good) |
| Density | 2.1 g/cm³ |
| Vapor Pressure | Vapor pressure, Pa at 25 °C: (negligible) |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Stable under recommended storage conditions. |
| Decomposition | When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors. |
| Other Experimental Properties | In the presence of water, breaks down into sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. The latter kills pests by oxidation. |
| Chemical Classes | Metals -> Organic Acids, Metal Salts |
