SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1
Reactivity
Fumes in air. Decomposed by water to form phosphorous acid and hydrobromic acid. Reaction with warm water is very rapid and may be violent [Mellor v.8. 1032 1940]. Based on a scenario where the chemical is spilled into an excess of water (at least 5 fold excess of water), half of the maximum theoretical yield of Hydrogen Bromide gas will be created in 11 minutes. Experimental details are in the following: “Development of the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Distances for the 2008 Emergency Response Guidebook”, ANL/DIS-09-2, D.F. Brown, H.M. Hartmann, W.A. Freeman, and W.D. Haney, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois, June 2009.
10.2
Chemical stability
no data available
10.3
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Not combustible, but if involved in a fire decomposes to produce hydrogen bromide, phosphoric acid, phosphine.PHOSPHORUS TRIBROMIDE reacts with oxidizing agents to generate heat and products that may be flammable, combustible, or otherwise reactive; the reactions may be violent. Forms complexes with potassium or sodium metal that explode when shocked. Dropwise addition to 3-phenylpropanol caused an explosion when stirring of the mixture was discontinued [Chem. Brit., 1974, 10, 101-102].

Phosphorus is a chemical element with the symbol P and atomic number 15.
Elemental phosphorus exists in two major forms, white phosphorus and red phosphorus, but because it is highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth.
It has a concentration in the Earth’s crust of about one gram per kilogram (compare copper at about 0.06 grams). With few exceptions, minerals containing phosphorus are in the maximally oxidized state as inorganic phosphate rocks.
Bromine is a chemical element with symbol Br and atomic number 35.
It is the third-lightest halogen, and is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly coloured gas.
Its properties are thus intermediate between those of chlorine and iodine.
Isolated independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig (in 1825) and Antoine Jérôme Balard (in 1826), its name was derived from the Ancient Greek βρῶμος (“stench”), referencing its sharp and disagreeable smell.
