Molecular Mass of Sulphuric Acid
Sulphuric acid has the chemical formula H2SO4. According to this formula, one molecule of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) comprises 2 moles of hydrogen, 1 mole of sulfur, and 4 moles of oxygen atoms. As a result, the molecular mass of H2SO4 will be equal to the sum of the masses of two moles of hydrogen, one mole of sulfur, and four moles of oxygen. Because hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1u, sulfur has an atomic mass of 32u, and oxygen has an atomic mass of 16u, the molecular mass of sulphuric acid may be computed as follows:
The molecular mass of H2SO4 = Mass of 2 moles of hydrogen atoms + Mass of 1 mole of sulphur + Mass of 4 moles of oxygen atoms
= 2 × 1 + 32 + 4 × 16
= 2 + 32 + 64
= 98 u
Thus, the molecular mass of sulphuric acid is 98u and the molecular weight of sulphuric acid is 98 g/mol.
Sulfuric Acid – H2SO4
Sulfuric Acid or Sulphuric Acid is a mineral acid consisting of one Sulfur, four Oxygen, and two Hydrogen atoms. The chemical or molecular formula of Sulfuric Acid is H2SO4. Sulfuric Acid is one most important commercially used chemicals. It is also known as Mattling acid or Hydrogen Sulfate or Vitriol. Sulphuric acid is a very strong acid and viscous liquid. It is a colorless, odorless, oily liquid, and corrosive in nature. Sulfuric acid is a component of acid rain as it is soluble in water.
Sulfuric acid is a highly acidic liquid. As a result, it is used for the cleaning of metals, the extraction of impurities from oil, the production of chemicals such as nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, and the manufacture of dye, medicines, detergents, and explosives, among other processes. The molar mass of Sulfuric Acid is 98.079 g/mol. The density of Sulfuric acid is 1.83 g/cm3. The H2SO4 molecule is covalent and has a tetrahedral structure and monoclinic crystal structure.
