    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuric_acid

    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 2 SO 4.

  3. Bunsen reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunsen_Reaction

    The Bunsen reaction is a chemical reaction that describes water, sulfur dioxide, and iodine reacting to form sulfuric acid and hydrogen iodide: . 2H 2 O + SO 2 + I 2 → H 2 SO 4 + 2HI ...

  4. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    Molecular models of the different molecules active in Piranha solution: peroxysulfuric acid (H 2 SO 5) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). Piranha solution, also known as piranha etch, is a mixture of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2).

  6. Sulfurous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfurous_acid

    Sulfurous acid is commonly known to not exist in its free state, and due to this, it is stated in textbooks that it cannot be isolated in the water-free form. [4] However, the molecule has been detected in the gas phase in 1988 by the dissociative ionization of diethyl sulfite. [5]

  7. Molecular autoionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_autoionization

    In chemistry, molecular autoionization (or self-ionization) is a chemical reaction between molecules of the same substance to produce ions.If a pure liquid partially dissociates into ions, it is said to be self-ionizing.

  8. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_reaction

    In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.

  9. Amphoterism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphoterism

    In chemistry, an amphoteric compound (from Greek amphoteros 'both') is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid and as a base. [1] What exactly this can mean depends on which definitions of acids and bases are being used.
