CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Sodium chlorite appears as a white crystalline solid. Difficult to burn, but accelerates the burning of organic substances. Forms explosive mixtures with certain combustible materials. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat or fire. Used in water purification, to bleach wood pulp, textile, fats, oils; and for many other uses. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | White crystals or crystalline powder |
| Melting Point | Decomposes as it melts between 180-200 °C |
| Solubility | Slightly soluble in methanol |
| Density | 2.468 g/cu cm in crystalline form |
| Decomposition | Dangerous; when heated it emits highly toxic fumes of /hydrogen chloride and disodium oxide/ and may explode. |
| Other Experimental Properties | Standard molar enthalpy of formation at 298.15 K: -307.0 kJ/mol |
| Chemical Classes | Other Classes -> Inorganic Oxidizing Agents |
