➢Safety Precautions
➢Conclusion
Introduction
• Chemical Formula: H₂SO₄
• Commonly Known as: Battery Acid, Oil of Vitriol
• Strong mineral acid: Colorless, odorless, and highly corrosive
3
Properties of Sulphuric Acid
Concentration:
• Commercial grades range from 30% to 98%
• Concentrated Sulphuric acid is highly corrosive and must be handled with care.
Density:
• High density (~1.84 g/cm³ for concentrated acid)
Boiling Point:
• Boils at 337 °C (638.6 °F)
Reactivity:
• Highly reactive with various materials, including metals, organic compounds,
and other chemicals.
4
Acidic Properties
Strong Acidity:
• Ionizes completely in water to produce hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) and sulphate
ions (SO₄²⁻).
pH:
• Sulphuric acid is a strong acid with a pH level close to 0 in concentrated form.
5
Uses and Applications
Industrial Applications:
• Manufacture of fertilizers, detergents, and chemicals
• Petroleum refining
• Metal processing (e.g., pickling and cleaning metals)
Battery Acid:
• Electrolyte in lead-acid batteries for vehicles
Laboratory Use:
• Common reagent in laboratories for various chemical reactions and analyses
Dehydrating Agent:
• Used to remove water and dehydrate various compounds in chemical processes
6
Safety Precautions
Corrosive Nature:
• Handle with care to avoid skin and eye contact.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye
protection.
Storage:
• Store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry area away from incompatible
substances.
Emergency Procedures:
• In case of contact or ingestion, follow emergency protocols and seek medical
attention.
7
Conclusion
• Sulphuric acid is a vital industrial chemical with wide-ranging applications.
• Proper handling and safety measures are crucial when dealing with this highly
corrosive substance.
