H₂SO₄

H₂SO₄, also known as sulfuric acid, is a highly strong and corrosive liquid widely used in industry. It consists of two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom, and four oxygen atoms, forming a dense, clear, oily liquid. It’s essential for manufacturing fertilizers, chemicals, and in cleaning processes. Despite its usefulness, it must be handled with care because it can cause severe burns and damage materials due to its corrosive nature. Sulfuric acid plays a critical role in many industrial applications, but safety precautions are essential when working with it.
