Liquid hydrogen suffocation

The chloride is a red, mobile liquid, with a suffocating odour. It has a density of 1-5085 at 15° C., and boils at 73-5° C. It fumes in moist air and is decomposed by water or alkalis, forming carbonic and hydrochloric acids or their salts and hydrogen sulphide. 

Titanium tetrachloride is a colourless transparent liquid (the boiling point is 136 °C) it is easily decomposed with water forming hydrogen chloride and titanium dioxide. It joins the moisture in air to form white suffocating fumes, which are drops of hydrochloric acid. 

Properties Colorless, fuming liquid. Suffocating odor. Sp. gr. 1.5. M. P. —70°. B. P, 57.6°. Decomposes with the moisture of the air, forming a dispersion of silicic acid and hydrogen chloride. 

Properties Colorless, exceedingly mobile, fuming liquid suffocating odor. Corrosive to most metals when water is present in the absence of water it has practically no action on iron, steel, or the common metals and alloys, and can be stored and handled in metal equipment without danger. D 1.483 (20C), bulk d 12.4 lb/gal, fp -70C, bp 57.6C, refr index 1.412 (20C). Miscible with carbon tetrachloride, tin tetrachloride, titanium tetrachloride, and sulfur mono- and dichlorides decomposed by water and alcohol with evolution of hydrogen chloride. Noncombustible.
