CAS 138757-15-0

:

NA

Description:
The chemical substance with the name "NA" and CAS number 138757-15-0 is known as sodium azide. Sodium azide is an inorganic compound with the formula NaN₃. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. Sodium azide is primarily used as a preservative in laboratories and as a propellant in automotive airbags due to its ability to rapidly decompose into nitrogen gas when heated or subjected to shock. This decomposition reaction is exothermic and produces a large volume of gas, making it effective for rapid inflation. However, sodium azide is also highly toxic and poses significant health risks if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It can cause serious health effects, including respiratory failure and neurological damage. Due to its hazardous nature, sodium azide must be handled with extreme caution, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate exposure risks.
