35 per cent Sulfuric Acid, or there abouts, in a proper 12 volts car
battery. What are you going to do with it?

I suspect he needs a 10% solution for some photographic purpose
(pemanganate, dichromate, and copper sulfate bleach formulae all call
for X ml of sulfuric acid without calling out the strength, apparently
assuming we'll know what strength is "standard photographic" -- I've
wondered what %, molality, molarity, or normality I'd need 10 ml of).

I figured it was about that, the guy at the auto battery supply said it
was somewhat stronger than vinegar. I figured since glacial acetic
is around 28% that this must be around the same. I am going to use it
to process control E6,.....if my Ph meter its functional.

Hum? I think that means I want a 3 to 1 ratio to get a 1% solution.

Huh?? If you have 35%, you'd need to dilute it 1:34 to get a 1% solution.

Something did not compute thanks.

I'd think there might be a question of purities (i.e.,
containing a number of unquanitifiable imputities.)
Probably better to use a reagent grade where the
normality (36N/100%) and purity is known.

Then again at the minute amount of 5N you use it might
be fine as long as you get the correct dilution.

You're using new acid right. You're not dumping your car's battery into a
grad right? The car battery acid would have a lot of lead compounds in
solution I think.

Its fresh, and only cost two bucks.
