CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Bromine chloride appears as a reddish-yellow mobile liquid with an irritating odor. Toxic by ingestion or inhalation, and an irritant to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Prolonged exposure of the containers to intense heat may result in their violent rupturing and rocketing. Used as an industrial disinfectant. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Dark red liquid (<5 °C) |
| Boiling Point | 5 °C (decomposes) |
| Melting Point | -66 °C |
| Solubility | Soluble in ethanol and carbon disulfide |
| Density | Density (at 25 °C): 2.32 g/ml |
