More lab notes on making sulfur trioxide and oleum. This time i was able to get up to 20%-25% yield with improved heating with better insulation. Also found out that precise temperature control is important and that the polymerization of the sulfur trioxide phases can be easily initiated by smearing it with a pipette on air.
