Finding Online Handbook for Reactants Properties

[asfd]

I have a lab report due tomorrow morning and I need to put some infos about the reactants (is this the correct english word?) we used. More precisely, I need to know their boiling point, molar weight, melting point, solubility in water (and ethanol if possible), density of liquids. The reactants I am talking about are Dichloromethane, MgSO_4, Caffeine( C_{8}H_{10}N_{4}O_{2} ), water and NaOH. If somebody could post a link (on a good website) where I could find those informations or just write them from a handbook with the reference it would be very cool. For now I found all the info I need about the caffeine on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine and http://www.angelo.edu/faculty/kboudrea/molecules/caffeine/caffeine.htm but I can't find the properties of other reactants.

Thanks

Usually Googling with "sodium hydroxide msds" or "dichloromethane msds", etc works pretty well.
MSDS stands for materials safety data sheet.

Thanks for the tip! Paper handbook are so outdated...

I found that : "Water Solubility is infinite in alcohols (ethanol, methanol), but negligible in gasoline." here: http://www.greenfuels.org/ethanolterms.html
But you wrote it's imiscible in water so I'm a little confused...

I also guess the infos in the MSDS are taken at 0°C ?

Hello,

I think MSDS is the most reliable information after scientific ones. If you have a library connection, please refer to Combined Chemical Dictionary, a.k.a. ChemNetBase. The information you'll find there will be the best ones.

Oopps ! Yes, I meant "miscible".

Unless otherwise stated, data provided are taken at 0 deg C and 1 atm pressure.
