Oleum, also known as fuming sulfuric acid or pyrosulfuric acid, is a solution of sulfur trioxide (SO3) in concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
The part of sulfuric acid that is dangerous is the H+ ion it releases in solution.
Yes. For the most part sulphuric is the British spelling and sulfuric is the American spelling.
Since the ratio of 18:6 is 3:1, to dilute 18M sulfuric acid to 6M, one would use 2 parts water and 1 part acid, a total of 3 parts.
The "hydro" part indicates there's hydrogen in it, but not all hydrogen-containing acids start with hydro...sulfuric acid contains more hydrogen than either hydrochloric or hydrofluoric. "-ic" is pretty common for acids...hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic...

The major constituent of car battery acid is aqueous sulfuric acid. Ideally, it contains sufficient water to attain the maximum electrical conductivity for mixtures of H2SO4 and H2O, about 40 % water. Battery acid may also contain other substances, usually corrosion inhibitors of some kind.
The highly concentrated sulfuric acid solution
Mix 1 part 5,25 N H2SO4 with 4,25 parts water to obtain 1 N H2SO4.

Common household acids include citric acid (orange and grapefruit juice), acetic acid (vinegar), carbonic and phosphoric acid (sodas and soft drinks), and hydrochloric acid (formed by mixing vinegar and salt in salads). Tartaric acid is in bananas and grapes, and is important in the fermentation of wine. Formic acid is part of the reason that ant bites hurt. Sulfuric acid is used in car batteries. Common laboratory acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), nitric acid (HNO3), and hydrofluoric acid (HF).
It has widely varied uses and plays some part in the production of nearly all manufactured goods. The major use of sulfuric acid is in the production of fertilizers, e.g., superphosphate of lime and ammonium sulfate. It is widely used in the manufacture of chemicals, e.g., in making hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfate salts, synthetic detergents, dyes and pigments, explosives, and drugs. It is used in petroleum refining to wash impurities out of gasoline and other refinery products. Sulfuric acid is used in processing metals, e.g., in pickling (cleaning) iron and steel before plating them with tin or zinc. Rayon is made with sulfuric acid. It serves as the electrolyte in the lead-acid storage battery commonly used in motor vehicles.
A car battery is made of three components, lead, sulfuric acid and water, over time the acid erodes the lead and the lead is the main charging part of a battery that is why vehicle batteries are called lead-acid
Add 1 part of Hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts of acetic acid, in the presence of a small amount of sulfuric acid as catalyst. Let react for 7-10 days. be careful, very caustic and fumes are potent.
