ayam Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 can someone please tell me the hazard symbols for the following: sodium chloride potassium chloride calcium carbonate magnesium sulphate mostly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 well non of them are toxic, flamable, explosive, oxidising, radioactive or corrosive. in fact if they`re pure enough they`re perfectly edible in small amounts, although the magnesium sulphate works as a mild laxative. I`m not aware that they would even have any hazard symbols? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I`m not aware that they would even have any hazard symbols? Your right, there are none! Although NaCl is irritant if it gets in your eyes or cuts! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_sulphate Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayam Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 hmm interesting..thanx for the sites ok..im not sure if these are correct vvvv sodium hydroxide is corrosive hydrochloric acid is corrosive barium chloride is harmful maybe toxic nitric acid corrosive silver nitrate is corrosive...you guys are brill thanx alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 sodium hydroxide is corrosive: This is corrosive and fairly toxic as well. It destroys organic (including human) tissue, even at moderate concentration. This makes it toxic. hydrochloric acid is corrosive: It is very corrosive and very toxic, when concentrated. When diluted it still is quite corrosive, but its toxicity quickly lowers on dilution. The concentrated acid, however, gives an intensely choking fume. Never take a deep breathe near the open mouth of a bottle of concentrated hydrochloric acid. You'll regret such a thing . barium chloride is harmful maybe toxic: It is VERY toxic. nitric acid corrosive: VERY corrosive and intensely poisonous. It also is a strong oxidizer. silver nitrate is corrosive: corrosive and toxic, and a strong oxidizer. It carries the harmful cross, the corrosive sign and the sign for strong oxidizer. http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/SO/sodium_hydroxide.html http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/HY/hydrochloric_acid.html http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/BA/barium_chloride_dihydrate.html http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/NI/nitric_acid.html http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/SI/silver_nitrate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 However of all of those, silver nitrate is the least of your worries in terms of 'toxicity'. AgNO3 is still used to chemically cauterize small wounds while disinfecting at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayam Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 really! amazing even though its kinda toxic brilliant *dashes for a pen and paper* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 really! amazing even though its kinda toxic brilliant *dashes for a pen and paper* That exactly the point, its toxic too those nasty bacteria too but not so much too us in a very diluted solution Amazing some of the uses for highly toxic and explosive materials, Cyanide is used to extract gold, Sodium Azide is used in air bags, the Armstrong mix is used in toy caps ...
