  2. Peroxymonosulfuric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxymonosulfuric_acid

    Peroxymonosulfuric acid, also known as persulfuric acid, peroxysulfuric acid is the inorganic compound with the formula H 2 SO 5. It is a white solid. It is a component of Caro's acid, which is a solution of peroxymonosulfuric acid in sulfuric acid containing small amounts of water. [4] Peroxymonosulfuric acid is a very strong oxidant (E 0 = +2 ...

  3. Disulfurous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfurous_acid

    Disulfurous acid is, like sulfurous acid (H 2 SO 3), a phantom acid, which does not exist in the free state. [2] In contrast to disulfate (S 2 O 2− 7), disulfite has two directly connected sulfur atoms. The oxidation state of the sulfur atom bonded to three oxygen atoms is +5 and its valence is 6, while that of the other sulfur is +3 and 4 ...

  4. Contact process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_process

    4V 4+ + O 2 → 4V 5+ + 2O 2−; Hot sulfur trioxide passes through the heat exchanger and is dissolved in concentrated H 2 SO 4 in the absorption tower to form oleum. H 2 SO 4 + SO 3 → H 2 S 2 O 7. Note that directly dissolving SO 3 in water is impractical due to the highly exothermic nature of the reaction. Acidic vapor or mists are formed ...

  5. Sulfur cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_cycle

    Sulfur can be found under several oxidation states in nature, mainly −2, −1, 0, +2 (apparent), +2.5 (apparent), +4, and +6. When two sulfur atoms are present in the same polyatomic oxyanion in an asymmetrical situation, i.e, each bound to different groups as in thiosulfate, the oxidation state calculated from the known oxidation state of accompanying atoms (H = +1, and O = −2) can be an ...

  6. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    Molecular models of the different molecules active in Piranha solution: peroxysulfuric acid (H 2 SO 5) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). Piranha solution, also known as piranha etch, is a mixture of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). The resulting mixture is used to clean organic residues off substrates, for example ...

  7. Microbial oxidation of sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_oxidation_of_sulfur

    The fractionations of oxygen produced by sulfur disproportionation from elemental sulfur have been found to be higher, with reported values from 8 to 18.4‰, which suggests a kinetic isotope effect in the pathways involved in oxidation of elemental sulfur to sulfate, although more studies are necessary to determine what are the specific steps ...

  8. Sulfur oxoacid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_oxoacid

    2 O − 3 (ammonium salt prepared in anhydrous methanol at −80 °C [1]) Aqueous solutions decompose. Disulfurous acid or pyrosulfurous acid: H 2 S 2 O 5 +5 (of the sulfur atom bonded to 3 oxygen atoms), +3 (of other sulfur atom) Disulfite commonly known as metabisulfite, S 2 O 25: Not known. Sulfurous acid: H 2 SO 3 +4 Bisulfite, HSO − ...

  9. Sulfoxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfoxylic_acid

    Sulfoxylic acid contains sulfur in an oxidation state of +2. Sulfur monoxide (SO) can be considered as a theoretical anhydride for sulfoxylic acid, but it is not actually known to react with water. [3] The complementary base is the sulfoxylate anion SO 22 which is much more stable. In between these states is the HSO − 2 ion, also somewhat ...
