Help on sulphuric acid

[dom3mo]

Well i think ive made it by filing a glass container 50% of the way with hrydrogen peroxide and a cap that floating on the soultion with a tissue paper wrpped around sulfur i light the tissue and close the container the gas will have to be absobred by the soultion over time. I think this is a varation on the chamber method.

waste of time, you`ll still need air to feed the flame, else it`ll suffocate and go out, you really ARE pissing in the wind trying it that way, why not do what I said further up?

make a similar piece of apparatus.

[dom3mo]

Well wheres the buner in your appratus. Also I dont have a combustion flask.

[YT2095]

there is no "Burner" the only thing that gets set fire to is the Sulpher pile that sits on the spoon.

use a Jam Jar!

[dom3mo]

dude you might be wrong after an hour i test my soultion with limthus paper it read 4 any other tests i dont have barum chloride.

[YT2095]

it will, but you`ll get such a TINY TINY amount!

 

at least TRY to do it properly eh!?

[dom3mo]

Ill see if it can dissolve and make copper sulfate from copper chloride.

[YT2095]

so you`re putting copper Chloride into a soln that is still mainly H2O2?

 

well, Good luck with that

[dom3mo]

xcx

[insane_alien]

is your finger now a bone? if not then it was fine.

 

i've been splashed with pH 0.5 solution. no damage done. WARNING: this does not mean go washing you face with concentrated acids, i was next to a tap.

[dom3mo]

Ok can I ask how to concentrate a soultion? Or is that bad

[YT2095]

dom3mo, STOP telling Lies will you, it`s making you look like a complete and utter Twonk!

 

we are Chemists and NON of use were born yesterday!

 

so lose the bull$hit, Capiche!

[dom3mo]

ok gees Ill take down the message.

 

But can I ask how to concentrate a dilute acid soultion.

[YT2095]

you need to evaporate off all that will evaporate, in this case it will be mostly all of it!

 

Gentle heating will do this.

[dom3mo]

How to I take down a post?

 

Would puttting this under a lamp work?

[insane_alien]

to take down a post you can ask a moderator like YT very very nicely.

 

also, leaving the solution next to a sunny window for a few days.

[dom3mo]

Thanks

YT, what is a "rockwool" filter? Where can I get one?

[YT2095]

Would puttting this under a lamp work?

 

 

no real reason why not, if it warms the liquid sufficiently, it`ll work.

 

YT, what is a "rockwool" filter? Where can I get one?

 

rockwool, you can get from a fish tank shop or even use loft insulation fiberglass wool, and then push some into the cone of a normal funnel, the liquid passes through and a the particulate matter gets trapped in the fibers.

[Melvin]

Thanks YT! Do you do that to remove lead sulfate?

[dom3mo]

Ok I made the HS204 by heating sulphur in a flask with a tube in it that was connetced to the flask with the hrdroygen peroxide. It did produce HS204 but 25% or more is still hydrogren peroxide can I get rid of it by concentrating the acid?

[YT2095]

Thanks YT! Do you do that to remove lead sulfate?

 

yup, that and any other bits of particulate matter, sometimes the lead itself comes off if the batts are really old, although it`s a good idea to Try and charge the batt up as best as you can before doing this, the Acid concentration goes up if you do

[Melvin]

dom3mo, you have to actually burn the sulfur to get the SO2.

 

S + O2 --> SO2

SO2 + H2O2 --> H2SO4

 

Heating it in a flask not created SO2.

 

Yes, concentrating the acid will eliminate the excess peroxide.

 

 

 

YT, thanks for your information.

[dom3mo]

So if burned sulfur in a tissue paper with the plastic tube also acting as a air feed would that work?

 

Soory about the questions but YT in your picture is the spoon in the tube or is taped around it

[YT2095]

don`t aplologise for asking questions!

 

actually the spoon is on a stainless steel rod with the glass tube just overlapping it in the picture, in the rubber stopper are the steel rod with a spoon end, a long glass tube to deliver air and a shorter one to take out the gas, you can see the rod a little better in the 1`st pic.
