Re: MSDS expiry date

Hi If you have access to ChemWatch use it if not, you can type chemical name into search engine followed by MSDS and manufacturer name. MSDS are valid 5 years from issue date not print date and should be manufacture specific (e.g. no frills dishwasher detergent and Palmolive need different MSDS's) :?

hi, It could be iron and manganese ppt. :unsure: If dam is deep then you can not see discolouration but once exposed to air iron and manganese oxidising and give red brown solids. If you want to be sure then test your water for hardness or do it ,stain clothing (white cotton cloth washed in the water.

Re: hydrochloric acid fumes

hi Lis, Nitric acid is oxidiser at room temperature therefore very reactive. As you said, it should be kept away from acetic acid which is combustible liquid. Nitric should be stored away from others in a separate tray. Segregate oxidizing acids (nitric, perchloric, chromic acid, chromerge) from org...

Re: hydrochloric acid fumes

hi,
Acids, except nitric, should be stored in an acid cabinet, separate from other inorganic chemicals. Store nitric acid away from other acids unless the acid cabinet provides a separate compartment for nitric.

Re: Calcium Oxide

hi,
Calcium oxide reacts violently with water as you already know, but according to MSDS it should be separated from strong acids and oxidizers and it is compatible with all others. If not sure always use ChemWatch. (Mini MSDS's are great source of quick information).

Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) = FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
when copper(II) sulfate reacts with Iron, Fe metal goes into the solution and the metal(Cu) is formed upon reaction. this is a metal displacement reaction, where the more reactive metal(Fe) displaces the les reactive metal(Cu).
