Sulfuric acid exists as particles and/or droplets in the air if released into the atmosphere. It dissolves when it is mixed with water. It has a moderate acute (short-term) toxicity on aquatic life. Sulfuric acid is very corrosive and would badly burn any plants, birds or land animals exposed to it. It has moderate chronic (long-term) toxicity to aquatic life. Chronic effects on plants, birds or land animals have not been determined. Small quantities of sulfuric acid will beneutralizedby the natural alkalinity in aquatic systems. Larger quantities may lower the pH for extended periods of time. answer by Naweed jafari

In the air sulphur dioxide it oxidizes to sulphur trioxide and Finlay inti sulphuric acid by reacting with moisture present in air and is main cause of acidic rain and harmful for plants and other living organisms.

sulfuric acid or sulphuric acid
Which one of the following statements about sulfuric acid is correct A Sulfuric acid is a known muriatic acid B Sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizing agent C Sulfuric acid has little effect on met?
Sulfuric acid is:NOT muriatic acid, 'cause that is the old name for hydrochloric acid (HCl)strongly oxidizing ONLY when concentrated, not in diluted form![Don't know about 'met', don't use acronyms]
What happens if sulfuric acid mixed with sugar?
Dilute sulfuric acid has no effect on sugar. However, if the acid is sufficiently concentrated, the sugar decomposes to form carbon soot, which is black in color.

Is there such a thing as sulfuric acid poisoning?
No, you cannot be poisoned by sulfuric acid. You will die from internal hemorrhaging resulting from the corrosive effect of concentrated sulfuric acid before you are poisoned by it.

Will sulfuric acid damage optical glass?
No sulfuric acid has no effect on glass (of any kind), only acids containing fluorine like hydrofluoric acid (HF) can attack glass. However the sulfuric acid will probably damage whatever material that the glass is mounted in.
How is sulfuric acid both a result and cause?
Acid rain forms when nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
Is sulfuric acid or base?
Sulfuric Acid is a powerful acid and not a base.
Where is sulfuric acid found in fertilizers?
Sulfuric acid
