Calcium nitride (Ca3N2)(CAS: 12013-82-0)

Calcium nitride (Ca3N2) is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula of Ca3N2. It is a white, odorless solid that is highly reactive with moisture and oxygen. This compound is known for its ability to react with water to form calcium hydroxide and ammonia.

Calcium nitride (Ca3N2) is primarily used in the synthesis of other nitrogen compounds and as a raw material for the production of ammonia. It is also utilized in certain industrial processes due to its reactivity with water and other chemicals.

Calcium nitride (Ca3N2) is not considered safe due to its high reactivity with water and air. It can release ammonia and calcium hydroxide when exposed to moisture, which may be hazardous. Proper handling and protective measures are essential to avoid inhalation and skin contact.

Calcium nitride (Ca3N2) should be stored in a dry, tightly sealed container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of moisture and heat. It should be kept away from combustibles and oxidizers to prevent reactions that could release toxic gases.
