WHAT DOES OLEUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

oleum

Oleum

Oleum, or fuming sulfuric acid refers to a solution of various compositions of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid, or sometimes more specifically to disulfuric acid. Oleums can be described by the formula ySO3.H2O where y is the total molar sulfur trioxide content. The value of y can be varied, to include different oleums. They can also be described by the formula H2SO4.xSO3 where x is now defined as the molar free sulfur trioxide content. Oleum is generally assayed according to the free SO3 content by weight. It can also be expressed as a percentage of sulfuric acid strength; for oleum concentrations, that would be over 100%. For example, 10% oleum can also be expressed as H2SO4.0.10889SO3, 1.0225SO3.H2O or 102.25% sulfuric acid. The conversion between % acid and % oleum is: % acid = 100 + 18/80 * % oleum A value for x of 1 gives us the empirical formula H2S2O7 for disulfuric acid. Pure disulfuric acid itself is a solid at room temperature, melting at 36 °C and rarely used either in the laboratory or industrial processes.
