Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), is a dense, colorless, oily, corrosive liquid: one of the most important of all chemicals, prepared industrially by the reaction of water with sulfur trioxide, which in turn is made by chemical combination of sulfur dioxide and oxygen. In various concentrations the acid is used in the manufacture of fertilizers, pigments, dyes, drugs, explosives, detergents, and inorganic salts and acids, as well as in petroleum refining and metallurgical processes. In one of its most familiar applications, sulfuric acid serves as the electrolyte in lead-acid storage batteries.

It finds use as a dehydrating agent for esters and ethers due to its high affinity for water, as an electrolyte in storage batteries, for the hydrolysis of cellulose to obtain glucose, in the refining of mineral and vegetable oil, and in the leather industry. Other uses include fur and food processi
