Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sulphuric acid is composed of two hydrogen, one sulphur and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular mass is 98gm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sulfuric acid (American spelling and the preferred IUPAC name) or sulphuric acid (Commonwealth spelling), known in antiquity as oil of vitriol, is a mineral acid composed of the elements sulfur, oxygen and hydrogen, with the molecular formula H 2SO 4.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive strong mineral acid with the molecular formula H2SO4. It is a pungent-ethereal, colorless to slightly yellow viscous liquid which is soluble in water at all concentrations.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, the molecular formula for acetic acid, the component that gives vinegar its sharp taste, is C2H4O2. This formula indicates that a molecule of acetic acid (Figure 2.21) contains two carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid with hygroscopic and oxidizing properties. Sulfuric Acid is a mineral acid with the chemical formula H2SO4. Sulfuric acid is also known as Mattling acid or Oil of vitriol. It has a strong acidic nature and is corrosive.
