Fire Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]:
CAUTION: Ammonium nitrate products may explode if involved in fire or contaminated with hydrocarbons (fuels), organic matter, other contaminants or when hot molten and contained. Treat as an explosive (GUIDE 112).
Health Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]:
· Inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death.
Hazards Summary

Reactivity Profile
Self-reactive. Concentrations of CHLORIC ACID above 40% decompose [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:576 1956]. Antimony sulfide and concentrated solutions of chloric acid react with incandescence [Mellor Supp. II Part I:584 1956]. Arsenic sulfide and concentrated solutions of chloric acid react with incandescence. Reacts with vigor even explodes with other metal sulfides, i.e. copper sulfide [Mellor Supp. II Part I:584 1956]. In contact with oxidizable materials, including ammonia, reactions can be extremely violent. Filter paper ignites after soaking in chloric acid, [Mellor, 1946, Vol. 2, 310]. Explosions have been recorded by mixtures of chloric acid solution with metals such as: antimony, bismuth, and iron. This is due to the formation of explosive compounds including hydrogen.

General Manufacturing InformationChloric acid: ACTIVE
Applications
DescriptionChloric acid, HClO3, is an oxoacid of chloride, and the formal precursor of chlorate salts. It is a strong acid (pKa＝-1) and a strong oxidizing agent. It is stable in cold aqueous solution up to a concentration of approximately 30%, and solution of up to 40% can be prepared by careful evaporation under reduced pressure. Above these concentrations, and on warming, chloric acid solutions decompose to give a variety of products, for example: 8HClO3→4HClO4＋2H2O＋2Cl2＋3O2 Note that it disproportionates into perchloric acid in which the chlorine atom has a＋7 oxidation state and also the zero oxidation state of chlorine gas (an oxidation–reduction reaction). Thus, under the proper conditions, it can also be used to make perchloric acid. 3HClO3→HClO4＋H2O＋2ClO2
UsesOxidizing agent; with H2SO3 as catalyst in acrylonitrile polymerization.
