What is chloramide?

Chemical properties

colourless to yellow liquid with a pungent odour

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.

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.

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
