Reactive Group Datasheet

Salts, Basic Inorganic/Organic

What are reactive groups?

Reactive groups are categories of chemicals that typically react in similar ways because they are similar in their chemical structure. Each substance with a chemical datasheet has been assigned to one or more reactive groups, and CAMEO Chemicals uses the reactive group assignments to make its reactivity predictions. More Info...

If you can't find a chemical in the database--but you know what reactive group it belongs in--you can add the reactive group to MyChemicals instead in order to see the reactivity predictions.

There are 211 chemical datasheets assigned to this reactive group.

Description

Flammability

None of these materials are highly flammable. Inorganic salts are generally noncombustible as well. Salts containing organic groups are in principle combustible, although they may burn with difficulty.

Reactivity

Materials in this group are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pHs greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in the Bases reactivity group and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible.

Toxicity

Variable. Solutions of these materials can be corrosive to skin and irritating to mucous membranes.

Examples

Aluminum phosphate, aluminum carbonate, ammonium citrate, ammonium formate, ammonium oxalate, cadmium stearate, calcium phosphate, copper formate, lead phosphate, mercurous acetate, nickel acetate, nickel formate, potassium oxalate.
