Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid. It has a very viscous consistency and can appear slightly yellow if it contains impurities. Due to its strong hygroscopic nature, it can absorb moisture from the air. When concentrated, it may give off heat upon dilution with water. Always handle it with caution, as it is highly corrosive.
