Sulfuric (or sulphuric) acid, H2SO4, is a strong mineral acid. It is soluble in water at all concentrations. It was once known as oil of vitriol, coined by the 8th-century Alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan, the chemical's probable discoverer.

Sulfuric acid has many applications, and is produced in greater amounts than any other chemical besides water. World production in 2001 was 165 million tonnes, with an approximate value of US$8 billion.

To all who respond to my harsher concrits in a mature fashion; you are the ones who give me hope that not all is lost and out of control on this site. Thank you.

Have a good one,
