Peroxymonosulfuric acid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pe roxym onos ulfuric acid, (H2SO5), also know n as pe rs ulfuric acid, pe roxys ulfuric acid, or Caro's acid,
Peroxymonosulfuric acid
has a melting point of 45 degree Celsius. In this acid, the S(VI) center adopts its characteristic tetrahedral
geometry; the connectivity is indicated by the f ormula HO–O–S(O) 2–OH. It is one of the strongest oxidants know n
(E0 = +2.51 V) and is highly explosive.

H2SO5 is sometimes conf used w ith H2S2O8, know n as peroxydisulf uric acid. The disulf uric acid, w hich appears to
be more w idely used as its alkali metal salts, has the structure HO–S(O) 2–O–O–S(O) 2–OH.
