1 Sulfuric Acid By: Matthew Ortiz Core 2 Science

2 What is Sulfuric Acid? A corrosive acid, normally used in the industry for things like batteries. Another name for it is vitriol or hydrogen sulfate. It has the ability to painfully burn skin.

3 What Does it Look Like? It is a colorless, dense, oily liquid. Will sink to bottom if placed in water.

4 What is it Made of? It is born from the chemical reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen. Another name for it is H 2 SO 4. Corrosive with materials like wood Has a violent reaction with water

5 Sulfuric Acid used in the Industry Very important for making products like batteries. Used for things like explosives, petroleum refining, pigments for paint

6 Battery Anatomy This is a car battery There are positive and negative plates that carry the current in a battery Sulfuric acid surrounds the plates.

7 Battery Anatomy - Continued Once the car is ignited, the electrolyte, or sulfuric acid triggers a small combustion As the energy travels, each plate becomes stronger than the last.

8 Discovery of Sulfuric Acid Not confirmed until sixteenth century First produced by Johann Baptista Helmont – Belgian Scientist Became vital to chemistry’s history

9 The “Lead-Chamber Process” First successful method of producing sulfuric acid – Introduced by Joe Roebuck

10 “Lead-Chamber Process” – Continued Process first starts with heating sulfur into sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) It is then oxidized into sulfur trioxide. Lastly, the substance goes through water treatment where it comes out as H 2 SO 4
