METHYL ISOCYANATE (BHOPAL DISASTER CHEMICAL EQUATION )

• Bhopal disaster was occurred by one simple chemical reaction in methyl isocyanate storage tank .

(note-MIC-METHYL ISOCYANATE) 

• MIC is used for the production of carbamate pesticides and also rubber and adhesives.

• MIC is a colorless liquid and pungent order .

  

• it's boiling point is 38.3 degree Celsius (100.9 F) approximately our body higher temperature .

•  MIC is reacted with water ,this leads to formation of 1,3 dimethyl urea and carbon dioxide with evolution of heat .  this reaction is continued, this leads to increases the temperature of MIC stored tank .

• at that temperature all MIC was transforming  liquid to gas form .

• slowly MIC gas was evolved out through the smoke Aerial tower .

• because of high molecular weight of the MIC and high denser than the air ,it starts spread lower feet to ground .

• this two things only kills the lacks of people .1) is reaction with water 2.) is high molecular weight of gas.
