10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
FLAMMABLE LIQUID; A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAME ...The vapour is heavier than air.ETHYL CHLOROACETATE is a chlorinated ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
