- Substance
Sulfuric acid is a colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a density of 1.84 g/mL. It is odorless and has a boiling point of approximately 337 °C (639 °F). The melting point is around 10 °C (50 °F), and it is highly soluble in water, releasing significant heat upon dilution. The refractive index is about 1.43, and it has a pH value of less than 1 when in concentrated form, indicating its strong acidic nature. Sulfuric acid has a vapor pressure of 0.3 mmHg at 20 °C, which is relatively low, indicating its tendency to remain in liquid form under standard conditions.
