I think when acids are in their pure form as acids, they are non-reactive and theoretically, if you were to not have any water on your arms, you could put it straight in the water and not be affected at all.
both of them should be safe. From my basic level of chemistry, (C at AS level... so i suck)
K2SO4 (potassium sulphate) Is stable in its dry form. I believe when it contacts water, it might fizz a bit. I would advise you minimise the contact between your skin and the stuff though. There should be no normal potassium present in the mix as straight potassium will burn in normal oxygen
Me and my mates used to "liberate" all the science stuff to do all the experiments my teacher didnt want us to do and once this clown took some potassium and covered it in oil, then put it in a tissue and left it in his blazer. Then it started raining and his jacket gotburned through lol!
Potassium phosphate i believe is acidic so avoid contact with your hands, especially if they are wet. If you do touch it, pour anything alkali such as milk i think to counter it. Do not rinse under water, you will just feed the burning.
Chemistry lesson 1: Substances are only acid or alkali in liquid form (i think its when mixed with water speciffically) Even with dry hands, you still release sweat which acts as water and can cause a reaction with solid substances to become acid or alkali. So dont touch it
no idea about the trace elements.
i did a level science got a B at gcse got a d at as level summer holidays make you lazy
Arrrggg!
*adds gas mask and latex gloves to list of things to buy**

Bloody hell glad i didnt do science A-Level lol.

i wouldnt bother with latex gloves, just nick the ones from petrol stations
think about it this way, if it was dangerous, it wouldnt be readily available
ill risk getting blown up!
OK!

Did you buy THIS by any chance. Don't worry, its an eBay link
I got one and it arrived today, if so, you will need to calibrate it first.... which takes the Michaels!" On the instructions it says, "Place a 50g weight onto the scales" So i'm like... GREAT! if i had something that could weigh out 50g already then i wouldn't have bought these scales! DUMB $&^*!!"
Neway, if you have bought that 1, then on average, a 2p coin weighs 7.13g according to wikipedia so i used 7 of them totalling 49.91g on average. The coins were the closest thing i found to weights.
