Chemical mechanism of the bromine explosion. The blue area at the bottom represents the condensed phase (liquid brine or ice surface). Tropospheric ozone depletion events are phenomena that reduce the concentration of ozone in the earth's troposphere.
Inorganic bromine is found in the atmosphere and is quickly cycled between its gas and its particulate phase. Bromine gas (Br 2 ) undergoes an autocatalytic cycle known as the ' bromine explosion ', which occurs in the ocean and salt lakes such as the Dead Sea , where a high quantity of salts are exposed to the atmosphere.
Industrially, it is mainly produced by the reaction of hydrogen gas with bromine gas at 200–400 °C with a platinum catalyst. However, reduction of bromine with red phosphorus is a more practical way to produce hydrogen bromide in the laboratory: [39] 2 P + 6 H 2 O + 3 Br 2 → 6 HBr + 2 H 3 PO 3 H 3 PO 3 + H 2 O + Br 2 → 2 HBr + H 3 PO 4
A gas explosion is the ignition of a mixture of air and flammable gas, typically from a gas leak. [1] In household accidents, the principal explosive gases are those used for heating or cooking purposes such as natural gas , methane , propane , butane .
A gas explosion in Kenya’s capital on Thursday night killed at least three people and injured 280 others, according to authorities in the East African country.
‘Safe to return’ to Middleton after digging causes gas explosion; 1 injured. Rachel Spacek, Alex Brizee. October 12, 2023 at 1:32 PM.
The massive explosion at the Sandman Signature Hotel in downtown Fort Worth, suspected as a gas leak, may be part of a worsening trend across the US. Gas leak explosions are happening more often ...
Bromine azide is an explosive inorganic compound with the formula BrN 3.It has been described as a crystal or a red liquid at room temperature. [citation needed] It is highly sensitive to small variations in temperature and pressure, with explosions occurring at Δp (pressure change) ≥ 0.05 Torr upon crystallization, thus extreme caution must be observed when working with this chemical.
