Beryllium Nitrate: OMGomgomgomgomgomgomgomg... OMIGOSH..!

Beryllium Nitrate

Reactivity Alerts
Strong Oxidizing Agent

Air & Water Reactions

Soluble in water.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products:
Toxic and irritating beryllium oxide and oxides of nitrogen may form in fire.

Behavior in Fire:
May increase intensity of fire when in contact with combustible material (USCG, 1999)

Health Hazard

Any dramatic, unexplained weight loss should be considered as possible first indication of beryllium disease. Inhalation causes pneumonitis, nasopharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, dyspnea, chronic cough. Ingestion causes anorexia, fatigue, weakness, malaise. Contact with eyes causes conjunctival inflammation. Contact with skin causes dermatitis and non-healing ulcers. (USCG, 1999)

Reactivity Profile

Mixtures of metal/nonmetal nitrates, such as BERYLLIUM NITRATE, with alkyl esters may explode owing to the formation of alkyl nitrates; mixing a nitrate with phosphorus, tin (II) chloride, or other reducing agents may react explosively [Bretherick 1979 p. 108-109]. (NOAA REACTIVITY, 2007)

Belongs to reactive group(s)
Inorganic Oxidizing Agents
