Results and discussion

Results:
Stability and reactivity: Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. Reacts violently with mineral acids (e.g. chlorosulfonic acid, oleum, sulfuric acid), amines or inorganic bases. Reacts with water or steam to produce toxic and flammable vapors. When heated to decomposion or on contact with acid or acid fumes it emits highly toxic fumes of cyanide.
