About This Product
Sulphuric acid is used to teach strong-acid behaviour, sulphate salts and exothermic dilution. Work takes place in a controlled laboratory area with a lab coat, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles and face protection. Only the needed quantity is measured out and waste is handled under the institution's corrosive-chemical rules. Storage is in a cool, ventilated corrosives cabinet away from bases, metals and organic materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why is the acid added to water and not the other way round?
Diluting sulphuric acid releases heat. Adding the acid slowly to water, as the approved procedure directs, keeps the heat release controlled, and water is never added directly to concentrated acid.
