Product Form
Substance

The solution is a clear, colorless liquid with a density of approximately 1.15 g/mL. It has a boiling point of 338 °C and a melting point of -3 °C. Sulfuric acid is highly soluble in water, and the solution exhibits a strong acidic pH, typically around 0.3 for concentrated solutions. The solution is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, which is an important consideration for storage and handling.
