How strong an acid is this? What concentrations of H2SO4 and H2O2 are best for producing monosulphuric acid? Is it an equilibrium? So many questions

aka "caros acid"

 

it`s not quite as easy as just mixing the 2, there are other steps needed to get a decent yeild. you will get Some though!

 

what do you need it for?

 

 

edit: btw, you`ll get a much better Hit Count if you spell it This way as used in here: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22peroxymonosulfuric+acid%22+&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-10,GGLD:en&start=10&sa=N

it's not a particularly strong acid, but it will also go through your skin like a pirahna, hence its name "pirahna bath". i dont suggest you make it for many reasons, among them the fact that it can and probably will explode at random. plus there's the fact that it will corrode mostly anything it comes into contact with that isnt highly oxidized to begin with.

 

just not pleasant at all to have and not so useful...

If you're crazy enough, you might want to clean vials or glass flasks with it. But with a rather dilute solution, and preferably not at all if you're supposed to clean containers that had organic compounds in them.

or anything remotely possible to reduce
