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.
