CAS 643082-52-4

:

NA

Description:
The chemical substance with the name "NA" and CAS number "643082-52-4" is known as sodium azide. Sodium azide is an inorganic compound with the formula NaN₃. It appears as a white, crystalline solid that 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 or inhaled, as it can inhibit cellular respiration by blocking cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transport chain. Due to its hazardous nature, it must be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. Additionally, sodium azide can react with heavy metals to form potentially explosive compounds, necessitating careful storage and disposal.
