CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Description | Butyl nitrite appears as a yellow oily liquid with a pleasant odor. A mixture of isomers (n-butyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl). Slightly soluble in water. Slightly less dense than water. Vapors are much heavier than air. Toxic by ingestion, mildly toxic by inhalation. Used to make fuel for jet airplanes. |
