Sulphuric Acid Conc

Strongly corrosive, denes, oily liquid. Very reactive, dissolves most metals; concentrated acid oxidizes, dehydrates, or sulfonates most organic compounds.

Hazard: Strong irritant to tissue. Use great caution in mixing with water because of heat evolution that causes explosives spattering. Always add the acid to the water, never the reverse.

Uses: An alkylation catalyst, electroplating baths, irron and steel, lab reagent, non ferrous metallurgy.
