Table C: Incompatible chemicals documented - CSB | SJU - Biology Department
Chemicals in the left column should be stored so that they cannot accidentally contact the chemicals to which they are incompatible (corresponding right column).| Chemical | Incompatible with: |
| Acetic Acid | Nitric acid, peroxides, permangantes |
| Acetic Anhydride | Hydroxyl-containing compounds such as ethylene glycol |
| Acetone | Concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid mixtures, hydrogen peroxide |
| Ammonium nitrate | Acids, metal powders, flammable liquids, chlorates, nitrites, |
| Aniline | Nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide |
| Calcium oxide | Water |
| Carbon, activated | Calcium hypochlorite, other oxidants |
| Chlorates | Ammonium salts, acids, sulfur, finely divided organics, combustibles |
| Copper | Hydrogen peroxide |
| Hydrocarbons (butane, propane, turpentine) | Peroxides |
| Hydrogen peroxide | Copper, iron, most metals or their salts, any flammable liquid, combustible materials, aniline |
| Hydrogen sulfide | Fuming nitric acid, oxidizing gases |
| Iodine | Ammonia aqueous |
| Mercury | Ammonia |
| Nitric Acid | Acetic acid, acetone, alcohol, aniline, hydrogen sulfide, flammable liquids, flammable gases, nitratable substances |
| Oxalic Acid | Silver and mercury and their salts |
| Peroxides, organic | Acids (organic or mineral), also avoid friction, store cold |
| Potassium perchlorate | Acids |
