General description

Sulfuric acid is a strong mineral acid, that is commonly used in organic synthesis as a reagent, catalyst, and solvent. It is also useful to perform several functions, including dehydration, sulfonation, and nitration.

Application

Sulfuric acid is used:
  • As a catalyst in the esterification of acetic and palmitic acid.
  • As a solvent in the synthesis of binary technetium sulfide via the reaction of pertechnetate and hydrogen sulfide.
  • As a dehydrating agent, catalyst, and active reactant in the chemical industry.
  • To prepare silica-sulfuric acid composite, which is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  5. what mineral is used to make sulfonic acid

    1 answer
    1. Product number 339741 represents sulfuric acid. The only 'mineral' present is sulfur. Any compounds used in the production or purification of this product would be considered proprietary. To address the question in reference to 'Sulfonic acid', this is a functional group and does not occur naturally. Therefore, no additional information can be provided.

    Bottle incompatible with material

    This bottle's materials of constructions (the cap? the liner? not sure) slowly generate black particulates in the acid, making it unsuitable for e.g. chromatographic applications. The product needs to be in a chemically compatible container.

    1. Response from Merck KGaA:

      Please contact Technical Service regarding this issue. This sulfuric acid product is packaged in a clear glass bottle with a PTFE lined cap. Please visit https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/support/customer-support to submit a Product Technical Inquiry.
