Sulphuric acid, also known as vitriol, is a strong mineral acid composed of sulfur, oxygen and hydrogen with the molecular formula H2SO4. In its pure form, it is a colorless, odorless and highly corrosive liquid. Sulphuric acid is synthesized by treating sulfur dioxide produced from smelting sulfide ores with oxygen in the contact process. Commercially produced Sulphuric acid often contains...
