Expanded and corrected.
The only big mistakes were the description of equilibrium, which is inapplicable due to the pure acid being solid, and the statement that sulfur trioxide polymerises on contact with water. I'm unsure of the carbon mass hardening after treatment of glucose with acid, so I'll leave it in. Any comments on this? Ambix 17:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
This article about oleum says much about the danger of handling it in, say, a railcar. An incident at the General Chemical plant in 1993 was just the kind of accident that is spoken of in this article; this incident occurred in Richmond, California, USA. Richard8081 21:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
