ICSC: 0328

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance ODOURLESS COLOURLESS CRYSTALS OR POWDER. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. The solution in water is a medium strong acid. Reacts violently with bases, chlorine and nitric acid. This generates fire or explosion hazard.	Formula: H₃NO₃S / NH₂SO₃H Molecular mass: 97.1 Decomposes at ~205°C Relative density (water = 1): 2.1 Solubility in water at 20°C: freely soluble
