Physical and Chemical Properties | Physical and chemical properties of chlorine fluoride, chemical formula ClF. Molecular weight 54.45. Colorless gas, slightly yellow when liquid, solid white. Toxic! It is highly corrosive to skin, eyes, etc. Specific gravity 1.62 (liquid,-100 ℃). Melting point -155.6 ℃. Boiling point -100.8 ℃. Critical temperature -14 ℃. The chemical properties are extremely active and react violently with water. SeOF2 and SeF4 are generated by interaction with SeO2, which can convert AgF, CoF2, CoCl2, NiCl2 and AgCl into AgF2, CoF3, NiF2 and AgF2. It has a strong oxidation effect on metals and non-metals. Contact with organic matter will suddenly burn. Can immediately destroy the glass. When there is moisture, it will quickly erode quartz. It is obtained by the action of chlorine and fluorine at 400°C, or by the reaction of chlorine and hydrogen fluoride in the presence of SbF5. Uses: Chlorine monofluoride is mainly used as a strong oxidant and fluorinating agent. |
