LANTHANUM CHLORIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties       white powder or colourless crystals

General Description        White crystalline solid. Gives an amber aqueous solution that can cause destruction or irreversible alterations in human skin tissue at the site of contact. Has a severe corrosion rate on steel.

Air & Water Reactions    Deliquescent. Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile    Aqueous solutions of LANTHANUM CHLORIDE contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and react as acids to neutralize bases. Does not usually react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. May catalyze organic reactions.

Health Hazard TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

Fire Hazard      Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
