"Sulfuric acid is capable of causing very severe burns, especially when it is at high
concentrations. In common with other corrosive
acids and
alkali, it readily decomposes
proteins and
lipidsthrough
amide and
ester hydrolysisupon contact with
living tissues, such as
skin and
flesh. In addition, it exhibits a strong
dehydrating property on
carbohydrates, liberating extra
heat and causing
secondary thermal burns.
[9][10]Accordingly, it rapidly attacks the
cornea and can induce
permanent blindness if splashed onto
eyes. If ingested, it damages
internal organsirreversibly and may even be fatal.
[6]Protective equipment should hence always be used when handling it. Moreover, its
strong oxidizing propertymakes it highly corrosive to many
metals and may extend its destruction on other materials.
[9] Because of such reasons, damage posed by sulfuric acid is potentially more severe than that by other comparable strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid."
Preparation of the diluted acid can also be dangerous due to the heat released in the dilution process. The concentrated acid is always added to water and not the other way around, to take advantage of the relatively high
heat capacity of water.
Addition of water to concentrated sulfuric acid leads to the dispersal of a sulfuric acid aerosol or worse, an explosion. Preparation of solutions greater than 6 M (35%) in concentration is most dangerous, as the heat produced may be sufficient to boil the diluted acid: efficient mechanical stirring and external cooling (such as an ice bath) are essential.
Do you seriously think this ok to add to medicine? Or to any recreational vice, even? Use pH up like a normal person and get your sulfur in some refined or unrefined mineral form. Fucking reinventing the wheel to run yourself over.
