perchloric acid
Potent laboratory reagent
Perchloric acid is a powerful mineral acid, one of the strongest known.
In concentrated form it's a colorless, oily liquid that can react explosively with organic materials.
Diluted solutions are used in analytical chemistry and electropolishing metals.
The compound contains chlorine in its highest oxidation state.
