Sulfuric Acid

Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄)

Overview:

Sulfuric acid, also known as oil of vitriol, battery acid, or hydrogen sulfate, is a highly corrosive and dense mineral acid composed of hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. It is a colorless to slightly yellow, odorless, and oily liquid that is completely miscible with water. As one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, sulfuric acid plays a critical role in a broad range of manufacturing processes.

Being the third most-produced industrial chemical worldwide, its availability and production levels are considered an indicator of a country’s industrial development. Sulfuric acid has an oily, glassy appearance and reacts exothermically with water. It is corrosive to most metals and can cause severe tissue damage upon contact.
