- Unlike sulfuric acid itself, sulfonic acids can be solids.
- The electrolyte is either sulfuric acid mixed with water or a form of saltwater brine.
- He found that sulfuric acid could absorb large volumes of coal gas.
- Small amounts of sulfuric acid (and occasionally phosphoric acid) are almost always used as a catalyst.
- This process will not occur except at extremely high voltages without an electrolyte such as sodium chloride or sulfuric acid (most used 0.1 M).
- The synthesis of diethyl ether by a reaction between ethanol and sulfuric acid has been known since the 13th century.
- Examples include nitric acid (from ammonia), sulfuric acid (from sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide by the contact process), terephthalic acid from p-xylene, acrylic acid from propylene or propane and acrylonitrile from propane and ammonia.
- In 1772, English chemist Joseph Priestley published a paper entitled "Impregnating Water with Fixed Air" in which he described a process of dripping sulfuric acid (or "oil of vitriol" as Priestley knew it) on chalk in order to produce carbon dioxide, and forcing the gas to dissolve by agitating a bowl of water in contact with the gas.
- Sulfur is mostly converted into sulfuric acid, which is heavily used in the chemical industry.
- This gas mixes with groundwater and forms H2SO4 (sulfuric acid).
- Zinc metal is produced either by smelting the oxide with carbon or by electrolysis in sulfuric acid.
- The metal is readily attacked by acids. Sulfuric acid is a notable exception because passivation stops the reaction by forming the insoluble barium sulfate on the surface.
- When finely divided, it is attacked slowly by hot concentrated hydrogen peroxide, hot concentrated nitric acid, hot sulfuric acid or hot mixture of sulfuric and chromic acids.
- in concentrated sulfuric acid, mostly yielding beryllium sulfate and aluminium sulfate.
- For example, in copper refining, copper anodes, an intermediate product from the furnaces, are electrolysed in an appropriate solution (such as sulfuric acid) to yield high purity (99.99%) cathodes.
