  • Yeah in 96%solution of sulfuric acid. You can't say it is fake, if you don't know me and my chemicals... Think before you write ;)

  • @RichardFontaineGYUK Do not confuse strength of acid and its corrosiveness. Strongest acids are carborane acids (extreme proton donors but even so cannot dissolve glass), while the most corrosive acid is hydrofluoric acid (a weak acid with the most electronegative anion F- and dissolves glass). Sulfuric acid can never dissolve glass, by the way, even at 100% and when subjected to heating. And seriously, strong acid + metal reactions having a slow rate of reaction?

  • @blazflare um..... actually SbF5 is THE most corrosive one.... quite dangerous

  • um......water does this to sodium....

  • i wanted it to blow up 3=<

  • @lexichronicle2 hemmm actually oleum is a mixture of sulhpuric of persulphuric acids, maded by dissolving SO3 in normal sulphuric acid.

  • @RichardFontaineGYUK "Because concentrated sulfuric acid contains no water. "

    It does contain water. In fact, it's impossible to produce 100% sulphuric simply by distilling or drying it because it forms an azeotrope with water. Oleum is concentrated sulphuric with sulphur trioxide dissolved in it, giving an over 100% conc. I've just repeated his experiment, with the addition of it being shown in water, battery acid and concentrated sulphuric, and filmed it.

    It works precisely as he's shown.

  • Concentrated sulphuric acid doesn't 'fume' and it doesn't damage glass containers, nor does it degrade into oleum, which is also stored in glass. Oleum is concentrated sulphuric acid with sulphur trioxide dissolved in it, so it does fume. The spare SO3 is given a value by adding it onto the original acid concentration ('over 100%'); SO3 is what sulphuric it's self is made from.

    Concentrated sulphuric is available in some household products. Nitric isn't, because it's used to make explosives.

  • @blazflare you can't have a 100% sulfuric acid solution.

  • Oh cool!!! 96% ? Where ... вобщем я плохо знаю английский, где ты такое достал???

  • Now take a Fat toke of that shit..
