Looking for help with Chemistry A2 Coursework Risk Assessment. Was wondering if anyone knows where I can get Hazcards for chemicals. I had a decent website in my favourites, but alas I had to format now I've lost it and cannot find it again.

Chemicals I require risk assessments for are :

Red and white wine
Ethanol solutions up to 25% by volume
Potassium dichromate(VI) solution
0.1 mol/dm³ ammounium iron(II) sulphate solution
5 mol/dm³ sulphuric acid
0.1 mol/dm³ silver nitrate solution

Ok that's it. Apologies if this has been brought up before, but two searches yielded no joy.

I do not know what a hazcard is but it's probably ok to get a MSDS. This is a file for each compound that contains some of its properties including risks like toxicity and explosion hazard. At the website of lab chemical suppliers you'll find the MSDS for example acros or aldrich have them.

Thanks for the help, I did another search and came up with this website:

http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/#Disclaimer

It has every chemical under the sun and a lot easier to find than on that other one where they are listed by companies.

If you want some comprehensive information on the classification of hazardous chemicals, you should read the following document:
