Risk Assessment of Chemicals

The document summarizes the risks and safe handling procedures for several chemicals. It finds that silver nitrate solution is corrosive and can stain skin, so gloves and safety glasses should be worn. Potassium thiocyanate solution is harmful if ingested and can irritate skin. Potassium permanganate solution is also an irritant and corrosive. Ferric ammonium sulfate solution can cause irritation and is toxic if ingested, while potassium chromate solution is corrosive and oxidizing. Most of the chemicals require gloves and safety glasses to handle safely, and any wastes should be properly disposed of.
