Formula of Oxone












8















A problem in my book asked the commercial name of sodium peroxide. The answer given was 'Oxone'. Even the website https://www.911metallurgist.com/oxone/ mentions oxone as sodium peroxide.



However, upon searching 'Oxone' on Wikipedia, gives another compound named potassium peroxymonosulfate.



So what exactly is Oxone?

    I believe if you search darknet for oxone, you are also going to find some new funky chemicals with the same name. Don't take everything posted on the internet for granted.

From [1, p. 828] (and many other organic chemistry textbooks), Oxone's formula is equally written as $ce{KHSO5 * 0.5KHSO4 * 0.5K2SO4}$ or $ce{2KHSO5 * KHSO4 * K2SO4}$, a potassium monopersulfate triple salt:




Oxone®
$(ce{2KHSO5 * KHSO4 * K2SO4})$



A “triple salt”, providing a convenient source of potassium monoperoxysulfate (potassium hydrogen persulfate)

[37222-66-51]



Commercially available



Notes: This reagent is a useful oxidizing agent.

Sodium peroxide is not mentioned as Oxone in any of the respectable literature sources I flipped through; rather, its names would be Solozone and Flocool.
