Chemical Properties White Solid Usage carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, diuretic, antiglaucoma General Description White to yellowish-white fine crystalline powder. No odor or taste. Air & Water Reactions Insoluble in water. Reactivity Profile A weak acid and a diazo derivative. Azo, diazo, azido compounds can detonate.

This applies in particular to organic azides that have been sensitized by the addition of metal salts or strong acids.

Toxic gases are formed by mixing materials of this class with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals.

Explosive combination can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides. Fire Hazard Flash point data for Acetazolamide are not available; however, Acetazolamide is probably combustible.
