    "flammable": ["Flammable gas", "Flammable liquid", "Flammable solid"],
    "oxidizer": ["Oxidizing gas", "Oxidizing liquid", "Oxidizing solid"],
    "corrosive": ["Skin corrosion", "Eye damage"],

# Storage groups (incompatible chemicals)
STORAGE_GROUPS = {
    "acids": {"compatible": ["acids"], "incompatible": ["bases", "cyanides", "sulfides"]},
    "bases": {"compatible": ["bases"], "incompatible": ["acids", "metals", "acids"]},

Concentration Units

# Common concentration conversions
def molarity_to_molality(M, density, mw_solute):
    """Convert molarity to molality"""
    # m = (1000 * M) / (1000*ρ - M * mw)
    solvent_mass = (1000 * density - M * mw_solute) / 1000
    return M / solvent_mass

def ppm_to_mg_m3(ppm, mw):
    """Convert ppm to mg/m³"""
    # At 25°C and 1 atm: mg/m³ = ppm × MW / 24.45
    return ppm * mw / 24.45

def percent_to_molarity(percent, mw):
    """Convert weight percent to molarity"""
    # Approximate: M = (10 × percent) / MW
    return (10 * percent) / mw
