Overview
Pure sulfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.830 at 25° C (77° F); it freezes at 10.37° C (50.7° F). When heated, the pure acid partially decomposes into water and sulfur trioxide; the latter escapes as a vapour until the concentration of the acid falls to 98.3 percent. This mixture of sulfuric acid and water boils at a constant temperature of 338° C (640° F) at one atmosphere pressure. Sulfuric acid is commonly supplied at concentrations of 78, 93, or 98 percent.
Characteristics and notes
-
CAS Number of Sulfuric Acid 7664-93-9
-
Linear Formula of Sulfuric Acid H2SO4
-
Molecular Weight of Sulfuric Acid 98.08
When concentrated Sulfuric Acid and water are mixed, a tremendous amount of heat is released due to ionization of the acid. For instance, adding 1 volume of concentrated Sulfuric Acid to an equal volume of water (both at 25°C) results in a temperature rise to over 135°C. Therefore, the acid should always be diluted by adding it to the water. If the water is added to the acid, spattering could result which creates a hazardous situation and the possibility for severe chemical burns. The use of a 1 + 1 dilution of Sulfuric Acid with water (50% Sulfuric Acid, Group No. 8180) offers a much safer alternative in many instances when the use of Sulfuric Acid is required. For example, when 1 volume of concentrated Sulfuric Acid is added to 3 volumes of water, the temperature rises from 25°C to over 90°C. When the same solution is made by diluting 1 volume of 50% Sulfuric Acid with 1 volume of water, the temperature rises to less than 50°C.

| Hazard Statements |
Causes severe skin burns and eye damage May cause respiratory irritation Fatal if inhaled May cause cancer |
| Prevention |
Obtain special instructions before use Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood Use personal protective equipment as required Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area Wear respiratory protection Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling |
| Response | Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
| Hazards not otherwise classified (HNOC) | Reacts violently with water. |
| Eye Contact | Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. |
| Skin Contact | Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required. |
| Inhalation | Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Immediate medical attention is required. |
| Ingestion | Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. |
| Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed | Causes burns by all exposure routes. . Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation. |
| Notes to Physician | Treat symptomatically |
| Suitable Extinguishing Media | Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. |
| Unsuitable Extinguishing Media | For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given. DO NOT USE WATER |
| Flash Point | No information available |
| Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical |
Not combustible. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours. Fire may cause evolution of: Sulphur oxides |
| Advice for firefighters |
Special protective equipment for firefighters Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing. |
| Further information | Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. |
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures |
Advice for non-emergency personnel: Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert. |
| Environmental precautions | Should not be released into the environment. Prevent product from entering drains. Keep out of waterways. See Section 12 for additional ecological information. |
| Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up | Use personal protective equipment. Provide adequate ventilation. Neutralize with lime milk or soda and flush with plenty of water. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Keep from any possible contact with water, because of violent reaction and possible flash fire. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. |
| Handling | Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Do not ingest. Do not allow contact with water because of violent reaction. Handle under inert gas, protect from moisture. |
| Storage | Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Storage class (TRGS 510): Non-combustible, corrosive hazardous materials |
| Engineering Measures |
Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. |
| Personal Protective Equipment |
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
