Gnitseretni, you may be forgetting that chemistry as a hobby is addictive. . .
You know you'll need those acids at some unspecified time in the future.
Store them in a cool, dry place---one day you'll be glad you did!

For some particularly masochistic definition of 'nice' :)
Now I am off for a run in this nice heat. Aaaaahhhhh.

Conc. H2SO4 is an excellent drain and toilet cleaner (the best actually). If you don't want to experiment with it, also consider other uses.

Then what would we have left? :o


Keep some H2SO4 handy. it can be quite useful. You never know when a burglar may break in through the back door.......

As for HNO3, you could just synthesize a whole bunch of fertilizer from it.

Ok, there are some folks interested in the acids, but they live too far away. I prefer not to ship because i'm pretty sure it's illegal for me to sell, let alone ship. Notice i said "pretty sure".. it is illegal for me to sell, right? Can anyone confirm this for me? I googled it but i must be using the wrong keywords because i can't find it.

My guess is that it would be legal to sell, but perhaps illegal to ship, especially if it isn't done per hazmat regulations, but probably legal if you comply with all that. I don't really know though.

Its only sulfuric acid/nitric its not a controlled substance or even watched that Im aware of unless substantial quantities are involved.I would GUESS as long as hazmat shipping regs are followed and $25 paid
its legal but not likely in the same hazmat package.Not to discourage a sale I bought 5gallons of new unopened battery electrolyte w/o question from a auto supply fella i know.over 2gallons of 93%-98% very clean H2SO4 with a bit of work for $30 +6% tax.With what ive saved i can buy a #50 sack of NaNO3 chilean nitrate 'fertilizer' for $80 shipping included use the expensive $9 liter H2SO4?? drain cleaner ive bought use to distill
HNO3.personally Ive found no 93%-98% H2SO4 gallons @much less than $100 a gallon on that first gallon.cheapest was a local chem and cleaning supply sold and deliverd by thier personal truck
for free if on thier reg routes $150/5gallons 93% tech grade H2SO4.I sure cant use the 5gallons and havent another nearby buyer.Well i could but..
Brings up another question prilled 98-99% NaNO3 nitrate of soda fertillizers have no hazmat but when listed as an oxidizer crystaline/granular Oxdizers
not under the name of fertilizers but chemically identical are charged the $25
for the smallest amounts.E-Bay is some other type of story whether some of the offers are legal may be dabateable as I was under the impression a certain amount of german dark flake AL or equivalents 1-2lbs a year was allowed through pyro supplys while e-bays sellers make no such distinction? even H2sor often is listed w/o a hazmat and ive checked and no hazmat is added later but shipping charges could easily include hazmat!

Some folks PMed me thinking i was giving the acid away for free. After re-reading my original post i can see why. So to make things clear.. i'm selling it, not giving it away - PM me if interested. Half a year ago i would have had no problem giving it away, but nowadays i need every penny i can get :(
