Best Method for Neutralizing Excess Hydrogen Peroxide?
« on: December 09, 2011, 02:40:23 AM »
I have available an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), as well as an aqueous mixture of sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) and sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5).  Therefore, I could use either one to neutralize any unreacted H2O2, before purifying the DMSO (by vacuum distillation).  Would one of these choices be preferable for this particular reaction?

If you have a genuine complaint with the help to this same question of yours in these other threads you started, why not express it clearly, and work with the discussion to reach a consensus?

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
