Sulfuric Acid

Molecular Formula (Sulfuric Acid): H2SO4
Molecular Weight: 98.08 g/mol
Chemical Name: Sulfuric Acid
CAS Number: 7664-93-9

It is one of the most important industrial chemicals in the world, found in varying purities. It can have a colorless or brown physical appearance depending on its purity. It is a very strong mineral acid. It releases 2 protons when it reacts. Therefore, it has diprotic acid properties.

It is among the most used chemicals in the world. It has found a place in the production process of many chemical substances in almost every chemical process.

The factor that makes this chemical demanded industrially is the Leblanc reaction, which is the production reaction of sodium carbonate.

It is also known as battery acid. Because the chemical that triggers and helps the reactions in the battery is sulfuric acid.
