Sulfuric acid is commonly added to adjust the pH of solutions, such as in industrial processes, water treatment, and laboratory experiments. It is also used in the production of chemicals like fertilizers, detergents, and explosives.

What will happen if sulfuric acid is added with water?

Adding sulfuric acid to water is the recommended way of working to avoid accidents.


What is the effect of adding sulfuric acid in iodimetry titration?

Adding sulfuric acid in iodimetry titration helps to oxidize iodide ions to iodine, which is then titrated with a standard solution of sodium thiosulfate. Sulfuric acid also prevents the interference of other reducing agents that may be present in the sample being tested.


What is the name of H2SO4 acid?

sulfuric acid or sulphuric acid


Why do you not test sulfates with sulfuric acid?

Sulfate ions (SO4^2-) do not react with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) because they are already in the sulfate form and are not further oxidized or reduced by sulfuric acid. The reaction of sulfuric acid with sulfates would not result in a color change or a precipitate formation, making it impractical as a test for sulfates.


What is the purpose of adding sulfuric acid solution to the sample of milk of magnesia?

Adding sulfuric acid to milk of magnesia helps to precipitate the magnesium hydroxide in the solution. This can be done to isolate magnesium for further analysis or to determine the concentration of magnesium in the sample.


What is the mole fraction of sulfuric acid in a solution made by adding 3.4 grams of sulfuric acid to 3500 mL of water?

The mole fraction must be calculated in moles solvent over moles solution. So, 3.4 grams sulfuric acid equals .0347 moles sulfuric acid. 3500 mL water equals 3500 g water equals 194 mols. .0347 mols/(.0347+194) = 1/5591.77 mols/mol


What is the formula of sulfuric acid is .?

Sulfuric acid is H2SO4


Can ninety two percent sulfuric acid prepared by adding liquid SO3 to eighty four percent sulfuric acid?

Yes, BUT... Liquid SO3 is HIGHLY reactive and not readily available. Pure SO3 reacts readily (and violently) with water or sulfuric acid. To manufacture sulfuric acid, dilute gaseous SO3 is absorbed in sulfuric acid to increase the concentration of the acid. 100% sulfuric acid can still absorb more SO3. When extra SO3 is dissolved in 100% H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) the solution is called oleum or fuming sulfuric acid. In general, oleum is used when free SO3 is required.


Sulphuric acid is diluted by adding water but not water into acid?

Correct. When diluting sulfuric acid, it should be added slowly to water while stirring constantly. This is to prevent excessive heat generation from the exothermic reaction that occurs when concentrated sulfuric acid is mixed with water, which could cause the solution to splatter or boil dangerously.


How do you prepare 1normal sulphuric acid?

To prepare 1M sulfuric acid (H2SO4), you would need to dilute concentrated sulfuric acid with water carefully while stirring. Do this by adding the concentrated acid slowly to water, never the other way around, to prevent violent splattering. Always handle concentrated sulfuric acid with extreme caution, as it is highly corrosive.

What is the percent sulfuric acid contained in concentrated 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.
