- Sulfuric acid is a colorless oily liquid.
- It hardens into a crystalline mass at a temperature of +10°C.
- Sulfuric acid has a density of 1.84 g/cm3.

- When this acid dissolves in water, a large amount of heat will be released due to the formation of hydrates.
- These hydrates can be isolated from solution at low temperatures in solid form.

Chemical properties
A dilute acid also exhibits oxidizing properties, so it reacts with metals that are in the activity series before hydrogen
H 2 SO 4 + Zn = H 2 + ZnSO 4
Reacts with basic oxides:
H 2 SO 4 + CuO = CuSO 4 + H 2 O

Chemical properties
With hydroxides:
Cu(OH) 2 + H 2 SO 4 = CuSO 4 + 2H 2 O
2NaOH + H 2 SO 4 = Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O
- Cu(OH) 2 + H 2 SO 4 = CuSO 4 + 2H 2 O 2NaOH + H 2 SO 4 = Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O
Interaction with salts during metabolic reactions:
H 2 SO 4 + BaCl 2 = 2HCl + BaSO 4

Chemical properties
- Some metals (Al, Cr, Fe) do not react with concentrated acid.
- This occurs due to the formation of a protective film on the metal surface.
Fe + H2SO4 (conc.) = (cold)

- Sulfuric acid and oleum are very corrosive substances.
- They affect the skin, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract (cause chemical burns).
- When inhaling the vapors of these substances, they cause difficulty breathing, coughing, and often laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, etc.

Center for Distance Education of Disabled Children at OSAOU "Belgorod Engineering Youth Boarding School" SULFURIC ACID Prepared by: chemistry teacher, Bykova O.S.
Sulfuric acid H2SO4 is a strong dibasic acid corresponding to the highest oxidation state of sulfur (+6). Under normal conditions, concentrated sulfuric acid is a heavy, oily liquid, colorless and odorless, with a sour “copper” taste. In technology, sulfuric acid is a mixture of both water and sulfuric anhydride SO3.
Molecules and ions of sulfuric acid have a tetrahedral structure.

General properties of acid solutions
Dilution of sulfuric acid
I. Chemical properties of dilute sulfuric acid 1. Dissociation: H 2 SO 4 H + + HSO 4 - HSO 4 - ↔ H + + SO 4 2 -
2. Interaction with metals (up to H) Zn + H 2 SO 4 → ZnSO 4 + H 2 Mg + H 2 SO 4 → MgSO 4 + H 2 Cu + H 2 SO 4 →
3. Interaction with basic and amphoteric oxides CuO + H 2 SO 4 → CuSO 4 + H 2 O CuO + 2 H + → Cu 2 + + H 2 O ZnO + H 2 SO 4 → ZnSO 4 + H 2 O ZnO + 2 H + → Zn 2+ + H 2 O
4 . Interaction with bases and amphoteric hydroxides 2NaOH + H 2 SO 4 → Na 2 SO 4 +2 H 2 O H + + OH - → H 2 O NaOH + H 2 SO 4 → Na H SO 4 +H 2 O Acid salt sodium hydrosulfate Zn(OH) 2 + H 2 SO 4 → ZnSO 4 +2H 2 O Zn(OH) 2 + 2 H + → Zn 2+ +2H 2 O
5. Interaction with salts H 2 SO 4 +BaCI 2 = BaSO 4 ↓ + 2HCI Ba 2+ +SO 4 2- = BaSO 4 ↓ K 2 CO 3 + H 2 SO 4 = K 2 SO 4 + CO 2 + H 2 O 2 H + + CO 3 2- = CO 2 + H 2 O
Qualitative reaction H 2 SO 4 +BaCI 2 = BaSO 4 ↓ + 2HCI Ba 2+ + SO 4 2- = BaSO 4 ↓
Sulfuric acid displaces more volatile acids NaCI + H 2 SO 4 → NaHSO4 + HCI
Properties of concentrated sulfuric acid Organic substances become carbonized!!! C12H22O11 (sucrose) → 12С (coal)
concentrated sulfuric acid oxidizes nonmetals HeMe + H2SO4(conc.) = H2O + SO2 + oxygen-containing acid HeMe, C + 2H2SO4 = 2H2O + CO2 + 2SO2 S + 2H2SO4 = 3SO2 + 2H2O 2P + 5H2SO4 = 2H3PO4 + 5SO2 + 2H2O
concentrated sulfuric acid oxidizes metals; concentrated H2+6SO4 is a strong oxidizing agent; when interacting with metals (except Au, Pt) it can be reduced to S+4O2, S0 or H2S-2 (Fe, Al, Cr also do not react without heating - they are passivated): 2Ag + 2H2SO4 → Ag2SO4 + SO2+ 2H2O 8Na + 5H2SO4 → 4Na2SO4 + H2S + 4H2O
Thank you for your attention!
If these statements are true in your opinion, then put a “+” sign opposite them, and if not, then a “-” sign.
1. The properties of concentrated sulfuric acid are due to the fact that the oxidation state of sulfur in it is +6 2. Concentrated sulfuric acid is a reducing agent. 3. Concentrated sulfuric acid cannot be transported in steel tanks, because steel contains iron 4. Concentrated sulfuric acid does not interact with metals after hydrogen. 5.
