Sulphuric Acid is a Colourless viscous corrosive oily liquid. A molecule of Sulphuric Acid, H2SO4, consists of two atoms of hydrogen, one atom of Sulphur and four atoms of oxygen. Sulphuric Acid is the strong acid produced by dissolving Sulphur trioxide in water.
Sulphuric acid is one of the most important acids as it has a wide range of applications in different industries. Here, the sulphuric acid or sulfuric acid formula is given and explained along with its structure. Also, check the uses of sulphuric acid here to understand the importance of this acid in different places like in homes, medicine, and other industries.

H2SO4 Uses (Sulfuric Acid)
It is used in making fertilizers.
It is used in the production of steel and iron.
It is used in chemical manufacturing industries.
It is used in petroleum refining.
It is used to produce phosphoric acid.
It used as a cleaning agent in industries to remove the rust from steel and iron.
It is used as a catalyst to convert cyclohexanone oxime to caprolactam used to make nylon.
It is used in lead-acid batteries as an electrolyte.
It is used in making ammonium sulfate.
It is used in storage batteries.
Uses of Sulphuric Acid
It is formed through a natural process. When sulphide mineral in the rock oxidizes, sulphuric acid is formed. Sulphuric acid is highly acidic. Therefore, it is used in the cleaning of metals, removal of impurities from oil, manufacturing of chemicals – nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, synthesis of dye, drugs, detergents, explosives, etc.
Uses of Sulphuric Acid at Home
It is a very dangerous chemical and should be handled carefully. Because of the hazards associated with it, its uses at home are very few. It is used in drain cleaners with reactive property and hence makes home maintenance easy
Industrial Uses of Sulfuric Acid
It is used in different industries such as – wastewater processing, production of cleaning agents, processing of minerals, producing explosives, detergents and paper industry for the manufacture of aluminium sulfate
Uses of Sulfuric Acid in the Production of Drugs
Used to damage the cancerous cell DNA by the manufacture of chemotherapy drugs. It is used in ointments to treat various skin infections. It is the basic ingredient of topical ointment named Debacterol in the treatment of canker sores
Sulphuric Acid on Skin
It is used in skin ointments to treat skin infections like canker sores. Concentrated sulphuric acid is harmful for skin. It causes severe skin burn and injury.
Other applications are – it is used in the manufacture of batteries, detergents like trisodium phosphate, potato farming, printing ink, as a dehydrating agent, making paper, perfume, disinfectants, drugs etc.
Domestic uses
Sulfuric acid at high concentrations is frequently the major ingredient in acidic drain cleaners which are used to remove grease, hair, tissue paper, etc. Similar to their alkaline versions, such drain openers can dissolve fats and proteins via hydrolysis. Moreover, as concentrated sulfuric acid has a strong dehydrating property, it can remove tissue paper via dehydrating process as well. Since the acid may react with water vigorously, such acidic drain openers should be added slowly into the pipe to be cleaned.
Catalyst
Sulfuric acid is used for a variety of other purposes in the chemical industry. For example, it is the usual acid catalyst for the conversion of cyclohexanone oxime to caprolactam, used for making nylon. It is used for making hydrochloric acid from salt via the Mannheim process. Much H2SO4 is used in petroleum refining, for example as a catalyst for the reaction of isobutane with isobutylene to give isooctane, a compound that raises the octane rating of gasoline (petrol). Sulfuric acid is also often used as a dehydrating or oxidizing agent in industrial reactions, such as the dehydration of various sugars to form solid carbon.
Application:
1.Fertilizers manufacturing using Sulfuric Acid. Like ammonium sulfate, super phosphate of lime, etc.
2.Sulfuric acid used in manufacturing of plastics, metal sulfates, cellophane, dyes, drugs, perfumes, disinfectants and even glue.
Tarry compounds are removed by using sulfuric acid.
3.Sulfuric Acid is also used as an electrolyte in lead acid batteries.
4.Sulfuric acid applies in removal of oxides from iron and steel before electroplating or galvanizing.
5.Petroleum refining Rayon & cellulose film used sulfuric acid.
