sulphuric acid
Corrosive industrial liquid
Sulphuric acid is a highly corrosive, oily liquid that ranks among the most important industrial chemicals.
It's used in manufacturing fertilizers, refining petroleum, processing metals, and producing other acids.
The concentrated form causes severe burns on contact with skin.
Also spelled sulfuric acid, especially in American English.
