Fuming sulphuric acid
(gcide) | Fuming \Fum"ing\, a.
Producing fumes, or vapors.
[1913 Webster]
Cadet's fuming liquid (Chem.), alkarsin.
Fuming liquor of Libavius (Old Chem.), stannic chloride;
the chloride of tin, SnCl4, forming a colorless, mobile
liquid which fumes in the air. Mixed with water it
solidifies to the so-called butter of tin.
Fuming sulphuric acid. (Chem.) Same as Disulphuric acid,
uder Disulphuric.
[1913 Webster] |
Fuming sulphuric acid
(gcide) | Sulphuric \Sul*phu"ric\, a. [Cf. F. sulfurique.]
1. Of or pertaining to sulphur; as, a sulphuric smell.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Chem.) Derived from, or containing, sulphur;
specifically, designating those compounds in which the
element has a higher valence as contrasted with the
sulphurous compounds; as, sulphuric acid.
[1913 Webster]
Sulphuric acid.
(a) Sulphur trioxide (see under Sulphur); -- formerly so
called on the dualistic theory of salts. [Obs.]
(b) A heavy, corrosive, oily liquid, H2SO4, colorless
when pure, but usually yellowish or brownish, produced
by the combined action of sulphur dioxide, oxygen
(from the air), steam, and nitric fumes. It attacks
and dissolves many metals and other intractable
substances, sets free most acids from their salts, and
is used in the manufacture of hydrochloric and nitric
acids, of soda, of bleaching powders, etc. It is also
powerful dehydrating agent, having a strong affinity
for water, and eating and corroding paper, wood,
clothing, etc. It is thus used in the manufacture of
ether, of imitation parchment, and of nitroglycerin.
It is also used in etching iron, in removing iron
scale from forgings, in petroleum refining, etc., and
in general its manufacture is the most important and
fundamental of all the chemical industries. Formerly
called vitriolic acid, and now popularly vitriol,
and oil of vitriol.
Fuming sulphuric acid, or Nordhausen sulphuric acid. See
Disulphuric acid, under Disulphuric.
Sulphuric anhydride, sulphur trioxide. See under Sulphur.
Sulphuric ether, common anaesthetic ether; -- so called
because made by the catalytic action of sulphuric acid on
alcohol. See Ether, 3
(a) .
[1913 Webster] |
fuming sulphuric acid
(gcide) | Disulphuric \Di`sul*phu"ric\, a. [Pref. di- + sulphuric.]
(Chem.)
Applied to an acid having in each molecule two atoms of
sulphur in the higher state of oxidation.
[1913 Webster]
Disulphuric acid, a thick oily liquid, H2S2O7, called
also Nordhausen acid (from Nordhausen in the Harts,
where it was originally manufactured), {fuming sulphuric
acid}, and especially pyrosulphuric acid. See under
Pyrosulphuric.
