Please Hel.p , I Need Some Sulfuric Aicd
« on: February 19, 2009, 12:22:17 AM »
I promised to do a science project in school. I Want to do the Potassium chloride and suger. I have The potassiumm but when i saw that i need Sulfiric acid, i was like "Crap! Where am i going to find this???" I looked on Ebay, But $60 for a liter. and I only need a drop!

Does anyone one know where I can find some? or some sort of substitute that starts the same reaction? ??? Thanks for all your Hel.p You can understand that I dont want to spend over $60 for Acid and have it sitting in my garage for 7 years.


PS Im in Canada :-[

Any drain cleaner you can recemend? I hate freeken canada sometimes! you cant get anything!

Once again, Thx

If you promised your school that you'd do it in a class, with the suitable precautions in place, then they'd surely get it for you.  They may even already have it in a lab.  There was always 100 ml or so of every acid I'd ever want, even in grammar school.  However, it was always in a locked cabinet.  I might even have said something like, "Oh Sister, I could have sooo much fun with that one there."  And she'd go, "I'm sure you could," as she clicked the lock shut.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

30 % sulfuric acid is used in lead-acid car batteries

KCl is used as fertilizer

I appreciate for nope Hel.p, Do you think that 30% Would high enough to dominate the KCl? Or do I have to go though the trouble of boiling it and almost killing myself? Also, I checked the School, And unfortunately, There out. Aslo, How would I even get the acid out of the batery?

Have you tried the local pharmacy? When I was in the UK as a kid and needed additional stuff to play with my chemistry set, my parents used to get me stuff from the local pharmacist.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
