What is perchloric acid used for?

At elevated temperatures, vapors from perchloric acid can condense on surfaces in the ductwork of the hood, where they form perchlorate salts that are often highly shock-sensitive and that pose a serious explosion hazard.

Why is perchloric acid explosive?

Even at room temperature and low concentrations (less than 40%), perchloric acid will cause severe burns on contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes. At a minimum, a cotton lab coat, safety glasses and nitrile gloves must be worn for working with perchloric acid at any concentration.

Is perchloric acid a weak acid?

In addition to explosion hazards, perchloric acid has similar corrosive properties to other strong acids and causes severe burns on contact with skin, eyes, and mucus membranes. Perchloric Acid - Kansas State University k-state.edu lab topics specifichazards k-state.edu lab topics specifichazards

Is perchloric acid strong or weak?

Now lets discuss some weak acid examples: Acetic acid (CH3COOH) Formic acid (HCOOH) Oxalic acid (C2H2O4) Hydrofluoric acid (HF) Nitrous acid (HNO2) Sulphurous acid (H2SO3) Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) Benzoic acid (C6H5COOH)

What does perchloric acid do to skin?

HClO4 (Perchloric acid) is a strong acid. ing to the theories, an acid that completely ionizes or dissociates in water easily is labeled as strong acid. Because Perchloric acid (HClO4) dissociates completely in aqueous solution too, it is a strong acid. It is even stronger than sulfuric acid.
