Back to topic.  Chemicals like sulfur and clorine don't necessarily mean anything, but the organic ones if they found them at the same time seem to give it away.
Off Topic:

My chemistry class in High School used some 14 molar hydrochloric acid in a few experiments. It etched our stone countertops in seconds.

Also, my chem teacher has a picture of her arm after spilling a small amount of 50% peroxide solution. Her skin had blistered and begun to peel in large sheets.

Watch out for chemical burns from powdered acid. The moisture on your skin is enough to force a reaction. Do not flush with water. It makes it worse (check your MSDS for first aid of course).
