All set to try

[roughnight]

Hey everyone, I just got all the equipment needed to CTB. Now all that's left is the courage, which I highly doubt I will ever have, but I'll see if I can force myself.

Here's my setup:
- 6.2lt glass bowl
- 3x 750ml sulfuric acid ~98% (?)
- 1lt formic acid 85%
- ABEK-P3 gas mask
- Chemical resistant gloves
- Sleeping bag

I'm planning to lock myself in the bathroom (should be around 18m³), cover the door and window with duck tape, place the glass bowl in the bathtub and wear the equipment while mixing acids. Then just lay down in my sleeping bag and let it do the job. I will not bother washing the fumes, because with my limited skills I very much doubt I'd be able to make it work properly.

However, I have a feel something is not going to go according to my plans. And I have to make sure it'll work, because I've prepared a few farewell messages for a certain someone who I wish will pay truly and greatly for being the hoe she is, and if it won't work, I'm going to find the police at my door trying to "save" me for sure. I'll do this at night so I'll have a few hours, but still.

Gemini AI says the reaction will be instant and it would produce CO at around 30200ppm, not sure if that is true? I've just tried mixing a small quantity of those acids and while it did make a little foam after a few seconds, I'm afraid to say that didn't quite look as impressive as expected.
I think the sulfuric acid might be the issue. It looks a little too watery. I'm starting to doubt it's actually at 98%. There's no mention of it, neither on Amazon nor on the bottle itself. All it says is it's got a relative density of 1830 kg/lt, which according to ChatGPT is supposed to mean 98% concentration, is that correct? I'm not really an expert in the field. Also, do you have any other advice for my plan? Thanks.

I'm also not an expert. I disagree with Gemini AI. If the reaction was so instant, it would explode. Concentrated sulfuric acid can absorb water from air if stored in a bad condition. The strength of 1830 kg/lt sulfuric acid is 93.2%.

it the farewell messages are timed I'd put them far out. You need a lot of time potentially. Could take a while.
Surprised you were able to get those ingredients.

Unfortunately I have no way to time them on that platform other than using Javascript... I made a script but it's unreliable, considering there's a captcha that expires, or the Internet could go off... so not sure how to proceed in this regard. I was hoping it would take a few minutes :(
The ingredients were easier than expected to get, I got everything from Amazon. The sulfuric acid actually says it is reserved to professional use only and there should be some form to fill, but it was sold freely on there and they didn't ask me anything.

Thank you. I knew it was too good to be true. As far as you guys have heard, is that concentration enough? I think I've read somewhere it should be at least 95% :(

Sorry but I don't know. PPH says the concentration should be 96%. I would recommend more concentrated one than the acid you have. And I found the glass bowl may not be a suitable container. The generated gas needs to go through cooling and washing.
