Can store sulfuric acid in a bleach bottle?

well you're the chemist here, does sulfuric acid react with that particular plastic?

Yes, because SO4 is non polar you can definitely store it with polar bleach. In fact, bleach will keep it from turning clumpy and keep it useful for up to 10 years in a 1:0.5 ratio of acid to bleach. Just make sure its not scented bleach

And the bottle is totally okay for it, the bottles are graded to hold battery acid

How'd you go op?

quick chem: acids are molecules that tend to dissocoate into hydrogen ions in solution, oxidizing things in the process. because they have different regions of electronegativity within the molecule (high at the S, low at the H) they are polar. Quick n dirty hint for dissolution is "like dissolves like". Some plastics are polar and some are nonpolar depending on the type. So you need to check for that. Or just use what literally everyone else uses and keep it in an amber glass bottle

>oxidizing things in the process
Not OP but does that mean that, the more flammable something is, the more reactive with acid it is?

For those who don't know;
>battery acid
for standard lead-acid batteries, is sulphuric acid.

In to make a broad over-generalisation, a molecule which is highly reactive in one type of reaction is likely to also be highly reactive in another.

You can imagine highly reactive as being unstable.

The simplest example would be alkali metals like sodium and potassium. Their outer electron shells are identical so they react in similar ways, in most circumstances, but potassium, being more reactive, will react more strongly.

Fuck sake. Didn't think I'd gotten it so bad until I washed my clothes and they came out with patches missing. Scar on my toe never healed either

hydrochloric is worse

Nope.

That's why you should always call a technician when you need a technical job done... like lifting a battery... kekekekekekek

You should only store ammonia in bleach bottles.

Op is already dead from chlorine gas poisoning

Or ....hydrofluoric acid, which painlessly passes through skin leaving a mild burn...and painfully dissolves your bones, spreading along your skeleton.

Not to mention precipitating calcium from blood, messing up muscles and nerves.

>>1035803
ok but HF is real uncommon, plus just calcium gluconate if you're really worried

>>1035894
The welders in my previous job had something which contained HF, apparently for cleaning stainless steel.

>>1035520
depends on molarity. you can find much more concentrated H2So4 than HCL in labs

>>1036250
Molarity isn't really the explanation. Unlike hydrochloric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid has also strong affinity for water and it is oxidant in suitable conditions.
If it has some dissolved SO3 in it (">100%") it is more corrosive than the small increase in kinda-sorta-molarity suggests.

Acid + bleach = Chlorine gas

Congratulations you just made a chemical weapon and killed yourself with it.
