>>11669835originally I was going to use sulfuric acid but I'm hesitant to boil sulfuric acid. I guess I could, like, cook it on a campfire or something for an hour or so with some sort of like screen over it to prevent debris from contaminating the product whereas a hydrochloric solution would readily boil itself out at room temperature
but I think I might be more interested in sulfuric acid after all. I'm hoping the chemistry wizards here at this forum could tell me which route would be more advantageous and for what reason
