How do you form oleum from sulfuric acid?
Dissolve excess Sulfur trioxide in concentrated Sulfuric acid
Can ninety two percent sulfuric acid prepared by adding liquid SO3 to eighty four percent sulfuric acid?
Yes, BUT... Liquid SO3 is HIGHLY reactive and not readily available. Pure SO3 reacts readily (and violently) with water or sulfuric acid. To manufacture sulfuric acid, dilute gaseous SO3 is absorbed in sulfuric acid to increase the concentration of the acid. 100% sulfuric acid can still absorb more SO3. When extra SO3 is dissolved in 100% H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) the solution is called oleum or fuming sulfuric acid. In general, oleum is used when free SO3 is required.
Traditional name for concentrated fuming sulfuric acid?
The traditional Latin name for fuming sulfuric acid is Oleum. It comes from the Latin word for oil (oleum). It is also called Nordhausen acid.
How oleUm Made in contact Process?

What is the molecular formula of oleum?
Oleum or fuming sulfuric acid refers to a solution of various compositions of sulfur trioxide (SO3) in sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which can also be described by the formula H2SO4.xSO3 where x is defined as the molar free sulfur trioxide content.As being a mixture it does not have a chemical structural formula.
What is the Sulfonation process to produce dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid?
Dodycyle benzene is reacted with oleum or sulfuric acid in slow addition and strong agittation manner
Is 50 Normal sulfuric acid the same as 50 percent sulfuric acid?
No. 50% Sulfuric acid is 18.4 Normal. 50N (Normal) sulfuric acid is, umm, 136% (not possible).
What percent by volume of acid is in dilute sulfuric acid?
The answer depends on the dilution factor and if the sulfuric acid was 100% to start.
