A colorless and transparent fuming liquid with a relative density of 1.574; its melting point is -112°C and its boiling point is 75.5°C. It is soluble in ether, benzene, carbon disulfide, and carbon tetrachloride. It emits fumes in humid air, has a strong irritating effect, and undergoes intense decomposition upon contact with water, releasing hydrogen chloride gas; it is toxic and highly corrosive. It can be seen that hydrogen chloride gas is released when it comes into contact with water
