Use

Sulfuric acid is a very strong acid which is used in
  1. Car batteries
  2. Plants, as a fertilizer
  3. Refining petroleum
  4. Refining process metals 
  5. Paint  
  6. Wastewater processing 
  7. Chemical Synthesis  
Other uses include production of dyes, alcohols, plastics, rubber, ether, glue, film, explosives, drugs, paints, food containers, wood preservatives, soaps and detergents, pharmaceutical products, petroleum products, pulp and paper.

Make an investment in the best, and most useful molecule on the market. You won't regret it!

Polarity of Molecule


Sulfuric acid is a polar molecule.


Electronegativity Differences 


O   -   S
3.5 -   2.6 = 1.1= Moderately Covalent


O   -   H
3.5    2.2  - 1.3= Barely Covalent


Inter-Molecular Forces 


Sulfuric Acid has three types of forces: dipole dipole, hydrogen bonding, and london dispersion forces

  1. 1. The overall appearance is very good. I like the way it looks professional. The only critisism would be for a slightly larger font. However it is a really nice set up.
    2. The drawings are all accurate and neat.
    3. You are correct when you state that the polarity of sulfuric acid is polar.
    4. You are correct in saying that the acid has london force, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding. The only thing I would have added to this section is a description of each.
    5. Your ad is very convincing. It provides all necessary items that a buyer would be interested in knowing. The only thing I would have added is an image or two.
    Great job overall Francheska!

  2. 1. The general appearance is very nice. You have organized your areas of thought well and neatly divided them with either pictures or spaces.
    2. The drawings are all correct and very well done. It shows great effort to include the labelings on the drawings.
    3. You show both on your lewis structure and in writing that your molecule is polar and I agree with that.
    4.I believe that you are correct in describing the intermolecular forces.
    I really like the appearance of the ad. You didn't need to list the properties in such detail, and that shows a good amount of effort was put into the project.
