- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Oxidation-reduction reactions may occur between strong oxidizers such as halogens and other halogenating agents in combination with reducing agents such as sulfites. Gases such SO2 or HX may be generated along with heat (Predicted). Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility. The generation of gases may be rather slow, however confinement may lead to dangerous conditions.
