sulfuric acid or sulphuric acid
Sulfuric acid is H2SO4
Sulfuric acid Hydrochloric acid Nitric acid Acetic acid
Sulfuric acid
Concentrated sulfuric acid typically contains around 98% sulfuric acid by weight. This means that for every 100 grams of concentrated sulfuric acid, 98 grams are sulfuric acid and the remaining 2 grams are water.
Non-metals such as carbon and some plastics do not dissolve in sulfuric acid because they are not reactive with the acid. Additionally, certain noble metals like gold and platinum are resistant to sulfuric acid and do not dissolve in it.
Examples: nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, perchloric acid, etc.

Oleum is more stronger acid than Sulfuric acid
There are some bacteria that thrive in sulfuric acid but most living organisms are severely damaged by H2SO4
Sulfuric acid.
Oleum is another name for very pure sulfuric acid (above 98%). Oleum is not a part of sulfuric acid.
