Perchloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide

HClO4 + NaOH → NaClO4 + H2O

Descripción general

Perchloric acid, the strongest common mineral acid, reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium perchlorate and water. Perchloric acid is one of the few acids that can fully protonate water, making it a superacid in concentrated form. The perchlorate ion is extremely stable and weakly coordinating.
