Sulfuric acid 1.0 mol/l (~ 5%) is a dilute solution prepared on an aqueous basis containing sulfuric acid as the active ingredient. This solution can be used in various applications and is characterized by its chemical properties and reactions.

The main uses of 1.0 mol/l sulfuric acid are in chemical analysis, such as in titration for the determination of bases or in its use as a catalyst. It is also frequently used in the industrial production and processing of various chemical products, such as in the synthesis of dyes and plastics. In environmental engineering, it can be used to neutralize alkaline wastewater.

The chemical functioning of sulfuric acid is based on its strong acidic property. Sulfuric acid is a proton donor and can easily give off one or two protons in aqueous solutions, making it act as a strong acid. In reactions with bases, it forms salts and water, which is called a neutralization reaction. Sulfuric acid can also act as an oxidizing agent and catalyze redox reactions.

The special suitability of 1.0 mol/l sulfuric acid lies in its dilute form, which makes it less reactive and dangerous than concentrated sulfuric acid. This facilitates handling and storage of the solution and allows its use in applications where a lower acid concentration is required. In addition, the diluted form allows more accurate dosing and control of the acid concentration in chemical reactions.
