    Where can I buy chemicals in Hong Kong?

    I'm looking to start chemistry next year at my online school, but I'll need a bunch of chemicals for experiments like hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or anything of the sort. Thanks.

    You won't get acid in HK. There were incidents of random acid attacks last year.

    Let me clarify:

    You won't get acid as some random person who tells a commercial supplier that they're doing an 'online chemistry course'.

    You can't have nice things in HK, well if you call hazzardous chemicals nice. What you will be able to get is some unlabelled chemical in a beer bottle and the word of the old lady selling it that it is what you want. You will also have no idea of the composition.

    I infrequently buy HCL off of an old lady in a chemical shop. She pumps it to a Bluegirl beer bottle from an unlabelled black barrel in the street.

    I imagine you will have to attempt to do this officially through a fancy lab supplies company. A quick google turns up this
