It highlights the sealing of modern batteries to prevent acid leakage, and distinguishes between strong electrolytes, which fully ionize and conduct electricity well, and weak electrolytes that only partially ionize, resulting in a mixture of ions and intact molecules.

(Acetic acid has other protons, but only the last one is acidic.) Sulfuric acid and many others are diprotic acids. Thus, the hydrogen ions, which makes acids acidic, are consumed, and the hydroxide which makes bases basic is also consumed, and if the moles of acid and base are equal, only neutral water and a salt is left. (Actually, it is a little bit more complicated than this if the acid or base is weak.

Because it is 0.0384% of the Earth's crust, sulfur is the seventeenth most abundant element following strontium. Sulfur also takes on many forms, which include elemental sulfur, organo-sulfur compounds in oil and coal, H2S(g) in natural gas, and mineral sulfides and sulfates.

Two types of reactions might occur when concentrated sulfuric acid is added to a solid ionic halide like sodium fluoride, chloride, bromide or iodide. The concentrated sulfuric acid can act as both an acid and an oxidizing agent.
