Incompatible Chemicals

Certain chemicals should not be stored together due to their incompatibility and potential to dangerously react when mixed. Some examples of incompatible chemical combinations include: - Acetic acid and chromic acid, which can react violently. - Hydrogen peroxide and copper, which can ignite and cause fire when combined. - Concentrated nitric acid and acetic acid, as their mixture can become unstable and explode.
