None of the three “how much / how much it costs” items — mass consumed, volume needed, or price — are provided on an MSDS/SDS. Those are experiment‑specific or supplier details.

An MSDS/SDS does include reactivity information: incompatibilities, hazardous decomposition products, and conditions to avoid (i.e., how it reacts with other chemicals). It also includes other safety items such as identification, hazard classification, first aid, firefighting measures, handling/storage, exposure limits/PPE, physical/chemical properties (density, boiling point, solubility), toxicology, disposal, transport and regulatory information.
