Perchloric acid 1.0 mol/l is a clear, colorless solution prepared on an aqueous basis.

In chemical analysis and synthesis, perchloric acid 1.0 mol/l is widely used as an oxidizing reagent. Due to its strong oxidizing power, it enables the oxidation of a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds, which finds application especially for qualitative and quantitative analyses as well as in sample preparation. Another focus of its use is in the field of electrochemical studies, where perchloric acid 1.0 mol/l is used as an electrolyte to enable reversible redox reactions, which are important for the determination of reaction mechanisms and kinetics.

Because of its chemical properties and special suitability, perchloric acid 1.0 mol/l is also suitable for use in commercial cleaning and degreasing of metals, especially for sensitive surfaces such as aluminum, since it does not contain chlorides that can cause corrosion. In addition, perchloric acid 1.0 mol/l can be used as a catalyst for esterification and transesterification reactions to increase the reaction rate and achieve better yields.
