| Assay / Purity | 50.0 to 50.80 % w/w |
Chemical Properties
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Ionic Nature | Covalent compound. |
| Incompatibilities | Reacts with oxidizable materials, iron, copper, brass, bronze, chromium, zinc, lead, manganese, silver, aniline, flammable liquids, combustible materials (e.g., paper, wood), nitromethane, ketone solvents (e.g., acetone), aldehydes, and reducing agents. |
| Hazardous Reactions / Decomposition Products | Decomposes to oxygen and water, a reaction catalyzed by transition metals (e.g., iron, copper), light, and heat. Contact with organic materials may cause spontaneous combustion. Mixing with vinegar (acetic acid) can form peracetic acid, a respiratory irritant. |
Thermal Properties
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Melting Point | -52 °C (Freezing Point) |
| Boiling Point | 114 °C @ 760 mm Hg |
| Flash Point | Not flammable, but a powerful oxidizing agent that can cause spontaneous combustion. |
| Decomposition Temperature | The rate of decomposition increases more than two-fold for each 10 °C rise in temperature between 20-100 °C. |
| Thermal Stability | Stability as O₂ emitted / 25 ml sample at 100 °C: < 0.30 ml/minute |
