CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Aluminum phosphide is a dark gray or dry, yellow, crystalline solid. It reacts with moisture to give phosphine, a flammable and poisonous gas. Normally, phosphine will spontaneously ignite upon contact with air. If there is an excess of water, the phosphine fire will not normally ignite any surrounding combustible material. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Dark gray or dark yellow crystals. Cubic zinc blende structure. |
| Odor | Garlic odor |
| Melting Point | Does not melt or decompose at temperatures up to 1832 °F. (EPA, 1998) |
| Solubility | Reacts with water |
| Density | 2.85 at 59 °F (EPA, 1998) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Vapor Pressure | Very low, even at 1000 °C |
| Stability/Shelf Life | ... Moisture sensitive ... stable up to 10 °C. |
| Decomposition | When heated to decomposition it emits toxic /phosphorus oxides/. |
| Other Experimental Properties | Does not melt or decompose thermally at temperatures up to 1000 °C |
| Chemical Classes | Metals -> Phosphides |
