1,000,000 grams of sulphuric acid.

one mole of sulphuric acid is 94.1 grams

1,000,000 divided by 94.1 is 10627

if you take two of this amount to make the sulphur multiplyable we get 10625

we then do 10625 X (H4S2O8) which gives us S21250

21250 divided by 32.1 (mass of sulphur) equals 662

there are 662 grams of sulphur in one tonne of sulphuric acid.

How you make battery acid?

"Battery Acid" nearly always refers to Sulfuric Acid.Most sulfuric acid is made either by way of the Contact Process or (in much smaller quantities) the Wet Sulfuric Acid process.In the Contact Process sulfur is first burned burned to produce sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide is then oxidized to sulfur trioxide using oxygen in the presence of a vanadium(V) oxide catalyst. The sulfur trioxide is absorbed into 97-98% sulfuric acid to form oleum (also known as fuming sulfuric acid). The oleum is then diluted with water to form concentrated sulfuric acid. Dissolving the sulfur trioxide into sulfuric acid and then diluting to GET sulfuric acid sounds strange but directly dissolving the sulfur trioxide into liquid water is so exothermic that it creates boils the water and creates an extremely corrosive aerosol that is difficult to collect rather than a liquid.In the Wet Sulfuric Acid process, sulfur contained in a fuel or hydrogen sulfide contained in the fuel is burned with the fuel creating sulfur dioxide gas. As with the Contact Process, the sulfur dioxide is reacted with oxygen over vanadium(V) oxide catalyst to produce sulfur trioxide. The next couple of steps differ from the contact process. The sulfur trioxide is hydrated with water in the gas phase to form sulfuric acid gas. This gas is then condensed to form highly concentrated sulfuric acid. One of the benefits of this is that clearing the sulfur from the exhaust gases of the burning fuel reduces air pollution while simultaneously producing a product that can be sold to offset the cost of the air pollution control measures.


Is sulfur dioxide a mixture or compound?

It depends a little on your definition. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid can be produced up to 98% or 98.3% pure H2SO4. So, while H2SO4 would be considered a compound, it is never pure, and is always found in a mixture. Most Sulfuric Acid used in the lab is a much more dilute mixture of Sulfuric Acid and Water. Fuming Sulfuric Acid is a mixture between Sulfuric Acid, H2SO4 and sulfur trioxide SO3.


How many hydrogen atoms are in a particle of sulfuric acid?

Sulfuric acid is H2SO4. That's 2 hydrogens, 1 sulfur, and 4 oxygens, for a total of 7 atoms. 3 molecules of sulfuric acid would simply have three times of each - 6, 3, and 12 respectively.Unless you mean how many atoms of each are there in 3 moles of sulfuric acid. That's a much different question.


What problems occur when theres to much sulfur dioxide in the air?

The main problem with sulfur dioxide in atmosphere is the influence for acid rain. Sulfur dioxide molecules can react with rainwater to form sulfuric acid. Additionally, as sulfur dioxide is irritant to breathe, it may cause respiratory hazards too.

How much sulphur can you ingest before it becomes toxic?

Sulfur is a common chemical element found in living cells and even proteins. It is not in itself toxic, but can become dangerous when made into sulfuric compound and then added to water to create sulfuric acid. Since it is a mineral, you should never consume pure sulfur.
