Runninfarmer Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This may have shown up in another thread but is it possible to make sulfuric acid from magnesium sulfate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abateNth Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Look, Epsom's action is from alkali sources. Mainly ammonia. Venutian blinds, or no... To mix sulfur, will mush it for certain. It will yield more salts. In particular, of the hydrate forms of nitrides. Otherwise known as a slush. Not very yield worthy. For acid production. Look, take some water, then some sulfur. Apply heat to about vaporative state of sulfur in solution. Around 180 Fahrenheit. Induce across separate anode cathode combination, a current of about 20 V, 35 or so Hertz. Need a transformer there, not a dance at a light socket, please. Airate. By adding via tube, well, air. Agitate. You should end, properly without need of a Hood to prevent Death, about 0.42 molar Sulfuric Acid. Don't say I never did nuthin' for ya', either...

Runninfarmer Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hey big boy, I don't know what high horse you came riding on but I probably have more power supplies than you smart ass and this is my second year of college majoring in chemistry. This aint my first rodeo, I was just curious if there was ANY way to make something productive out of Magnesium sulfate since it's so readily available.
