Name: Sulfuric acid

Brand:Merck,Germany

Size: 2.5L 

Description:

Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong inorganic acid. It is colorless, odorless, and a highly corrosive liquid. It is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air) and generates intense heat when mixed with water.It is used in the production of fertilizers, batteries, metal refining, and various chemical manufacturing processes. The density of 98% concentrated sulfuric acid is approximately 1.84 g/cm³. Due to its risk to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, proper safety precautions are essential when handling it.

Uses of Sulfuric Acid:

Fertilizer Production:

It is a key ingredient in making phosphate fertilizers like DAP, TSP, and SSP.

Battery:

Used as the electrolyte in lead-acid batteries.

Chemical Manufacturing:

Used in the production of various chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, etc.

Refining:

Used in oil refineries, metal purification, and crude oil processing.

Laboratory:

Used as an acid in research work and titration.

⚠️ Safety and Precautions:

Sulfuric Acid can cause severe damage to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

While it is not flammable, it can react violently with reactive substances due to heat.

Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat when handling it.

When mixing with water, always add acid to water, never the other way around, as it can splash and cause serious accidents.

? Storage:

Store in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed container.
