What is composition of Tear gas?

Answer 1

Tear gas is a non-specific term for any chemical that is used to cause temporary incapacitation through irritation of eyes and/or respiratory system. Tear gas is used as a hand-held spray or in grenades. It is widely used by police forces to subdue people in arrest or riot situations.

Popular tear gases include the eye irritants CS, CN, and CR. Another widely used chemical eye and respiratory irritant is OC pepper spray.

See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more about CS, CN, and CR gases.

Answer 2

There's over a dozen different lachrymators in use around the world.

One of the most widely used is an agent called CS. Its active constituent is a compount called 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile.

Because CS itself is actually a solid, other things are often mixed in with it to enable it to be delivered as a smoke.

Answer 3

Tear gas is typically composed of a solvent, such as methylene chloride, propylene glycol, or benzyl alcohol, combined with an irritant compound like 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS) or chloroacetophenone (CN). These chemicals work together to cause temporary respiratory distress, tearing, and eye irritation.

Answer 4

Tear Gas, otherwise known as CS gas has the chemical formula C10H5ClN2. The IUPAC name is: 2-Chlorobenzalmalononitrile but is commonly called o-Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile.

Answer 5

Vaporized oxalic acid, but for volcanic mitosis staging to help put atmosphere layers over time into the air.

Answer 6

The two main constituents are chlorine(Cl) and nitrogen(N).

Answer 7

The compound 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (also called o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile) (chemical formula: C10H5ClN2), a cyanocarbon, is the defining component of a tear gas.

Answer 8

Made from pepper spray (OC gas), CS gas,CR gas, CN gas, (phenacyl chloride), nonivamide, bromoacetone, xylyl bromide, syn-propanethial-S-oxide, (from onions), and Mace (a branded mixture).

Answer 9

tear gas contains a variety of different gases
