10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
MIXTURES OF SODIUM PEROXIDE & COMBUSTIBLE, ORGANIC OR READILY OXIDIZABLE SUBSTANCES...IGNITE EASILY BY FRICTION OR ON CONTACT WITH A SMALL AMT OF WATER.SODIUM PEROXIDE reacts violently with reducing agents, combustible materials and light metals. Reacts exothermically and rapidly or even explosively with water to form a strong base (NaOH) and oxygen (O2) [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980 p. 854]. A mixture with ammonium persulfate can explode if subjected to friction (crushing in a mortar), if heated, or if a stream of gaseous carbon dioxide is passed over it [Mellor 10:464 1946-47]. Reacts very vigorously with gaseous hydrogen sulfide; even in the absence of air, the reaction may be accompanied by flame [Mellor 10:132 1946-47]. An explosion results when gaseous carbon dioxide is passed over a mixture of sodium peroxide with powdered magnesium [Mellor 2:490 1946-47] . Mixtures with acetic acid or acetic anhydride can explode if not kept cold [Von Schwartz 1918 p. 321]. Spontaneously flammable in contact with aniline, benzene, diethyl ether, or organic materials such as paper and wood. Mixtures with charcoal, glycerine, certain oils, and phosphorus burn or explode [Mellor 2:490 1946-47]. A mixture with calcium carbide (powdered) burst into flame when exposed to damp air and exploded when heated [Mellor 2:490 1946-47]. Decomposes, often violently in the presence of catalytic quantities of manganese dioxide [Mellor 2 Supp. 2:635 1961]. Mixing with sulfur monochloride leads to a violent reaction [Mellor 2 Supp. 2:634 1961]. Can react with and cause the ignition of fuels.
