Properties of required chemicals

Ethanol
Harmful
Pure Ethanol will irritate the skin and eyes. Nausea, vomiting and
intoxication are symptoms of ingestion. Long term use by ingestion
can result in serious liver damage. Death from Ethyl alcohol
consumption is possible when blood alcohol level reaches 0.4%. A
blood level of 0.5% or more is commonly fatal. Levels of even less
than 0.1% can cause intoxication, with unconsciousness often
occurring at 0.3–0.4%

Highly flammable
It has a flash point of 13 oC . It can readily catch fire. So care should
be taken while handling it because its combustion products include
Acetaldehyde which is a strongly carcinogenic substance. However,
ethanol itself is not cancer causing

Sulphuric acid
Corrosive
It is a strongly corrosive compound as it readily oxidizes anything.

Dangerous to Environment
Although sulfuric acid is non-flammable, contact with metals in the
event of a spillage can lead to the liberation of hydrogen gas. The
dispersal of acid aerosols and gaseous sulfur dioxide is an additional
hazard of fires involving sulfuric acid.

Very toxic
Sulfuric acid is not considered toxic besides its obvious corrosive
hazard, and the main occupational risks are skin contact leading to
burns and the inhalation of aerosols. Exposure to aerosols at high
concentrations leads to immediate and severe irritation of the eyes,
respiratory tract and mucous membranes.

Sodium Dichromate
Oxidant
Sodium di-chromate is a strong oxidizing agent. It will readily oxidize
anything that will come into contact with it. Precautionary measures are
necessary while handling it.

Corrosive
It is a strongly corrosive compound as it readily oxidizes anything.

Dangerous to Environment
It is a Hexa-valent chromium ion so is considered hazardous. It can
contaminate potable water as it is of carcinogenic properties.
 Very toxic
If swallowed, this compound can even cause death because it is very toxic
compound. It is carcinogenic in nature. Potable water should especially be
treated which may contain Hexa-valent chromium compounds.

Harmful
It is a very harmful substance. Its contact with skin should be avoided.
