Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) is a highly corrosive, colorless and an oily mineral acid, which is also called ''Oil of Vitriol'. It is a yellow colored liquid which dissolves in water at all concentrations and produces a lot of heat.
The crystals of green vitriol (FeSO₄.7H₂O) are heated and distilled to give sulfuric acid which is in the form an oily viscous liquid.
The molecules of H₂SO₄ are larger than that of H₂O since the Vander Waal's forces are higher in H₂SO₄. So, the particles are forced to move through a small volumetric area with a stress acting on it. Therefore, it is a more viscous fluid than water.
