Chemistry / R and S numbers

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I mean the R and S numbers as in risk and safety. The ones you would put on a COSHH form.

Thanks.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is anyway to find R and S numbers online? One where you can actually find the values for spacific chemicals.

Thanks.

Famous Scientists, Doctors and Inventors / Possibly could have been asked before but who invented money?

I've always wondered that...  [?]

And what did they do before money? Swap things? Or steal? Weird!  []

Chemistry / Re: What’s in your shampoo?

I love reading the ingredients list. My friend used to think I was weird and once yelled out in chemistry "I get some shower gel and smell it and think 'ohhh that smells nice', you're the only person I know that thinks 'ohhh what ester have they used?'" lol. To be fair it smelled like oranges and I just wanted to know what making it do it!

I've barely gotten over the shame of the stares. But I still do it all the time! Not that I really understand what I'm looking for - only a word with the ending -oate!

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Career in Astrophysics

Physics with astrophysics is a good choice. I was going to do physics with particle physics and cosmology at Lancaster but I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to switch university so I could study astrophysics instead. I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much - I do. But it is hard though.
