Sulfuric Acid – H₂SO₄ | CAS 7664-93-9
Product Overview
Sulfuric acid is a dense, oily liquid that is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals. In its concentrated form (95–97%), it serves as a strong mineral acid with high reactivity. It is employed in a vast range of applications from chemical synthesis and fertilizer production to petroleum refining and pH adjustment. Chemically, sulfuric acid is a sulfur oxoacid that consists of two oxo and two hydroxy groups covalently bonded to a central sulfur atom. It also functions as a powerful dehydrating agent and catalyst.
