Hazards and Precautions Reacts violently with water, releasing and igniting H2 gas which may cause burns. Fumes of burning sodium are toxic and should not be inhaled. Avoid contact with skin and eyes Do not ingest Wear face mask to prevent inhalation Wash thoroughly with soap and water upon contact with skin. When exposed to eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes. When fumes are inhaled, remove to fresh air Contact with water will release flammable gases, which may spontaneously ignite Highly flammable Do not ingest Wear protective gloves and mask Brush off loose particles from skin then wash thoroughly with soap and water When exposed to eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes. When fumes are inhaled, remove to fresh air May react violently with some chemicals May cause skin, eye, respiratory tract irritation. Toxic of swallowed Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Flush eyes with water. Rinse mouth with water. Remove to fresh air if inhaled Causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes, Toxic if swallowed. May be toxic by inhalation or skin contact Wear protective gloves and

mask and avoid contact with skin Immediately flush with water after contact. If inhaled, remove to fresh air May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation Do not ingest Flush with water when in contact with skin or eyes When ingested, drink 2-3 cupfuls of milk or water Remove to fresh air immediately when inhaled May cause mild eye, skin irritation May cause allergic reaction when in contact with skin, asthma symptoms or breathing difficulty when inhaled Harmful if swallowed Wear gloves and mask

Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry that deals with the speeds or rates of reactions. Reaction rate is the change in concentration of products or reactants in a given period of time. It is influenced by the physical state and concentration of the reactants, the temperature at which the reaction occurs, and the presence of a catalyst. In order for a chemical reaction to occur, according to the Collision Theory, the reactant molecules must collide with enough energy to break the bonds between molecules and induce a chemical reaction. Increasing the temperature increases the energy present in the reaction by increasing the amount and speed of collisions in the system, and thus increases the chances of a reaction taking place. Increasing the surface are and concentration of reactants also encourages the reaction
