Description

**Molecular formula:** H₂SO₄ **Molar mass:** 98.079 g/mol **Description:** Sulfuric acid, historically known as vitriol, is a strong dibasic acid. In its concentrated form, it is a colorless, oily liquid with strong hygroscopic properties (dehydrating effect). Concentrated sulfuric acid also exhibits oxidizing properties. When diluted, its oxidizing and dehydrating properties diminish, but its acidic properties become more pronounced. **Applications:** Sulfuric acid is an important reagent in a wide range of industrial processes, primarily used in the production of fertilizers, fibers, dyes and pigments, pharmaceuticals and explosives.
