Sulfuric Acid
chemical formula H2SO4, sulfuric acid is primarily used to strip photoresist as part of a sulfuric acid - hydrogen peroxide mixture. Sulfuric acid will strip photoresist on it's own but carbon, C, build up in the bath. The addition of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, volatizes the carbon from the bath as carbon dioxide, CO2, and carbon monoxide, CO. Sulfuric acid is commonly sold as a 98% solution and has a density of 1.84Kg/L. Sulfuric acid burns on contact with skin or eyes and the vapors will irritate or burn eyes or lungs.

sulfuric acid ( oil of vitriol; sulphuric acid)
(H2SO4) An oily, corrosive liquid that acts as a strong acid when dissolved in water. Sulfuric acid has so many industrial uses that sulfuric acid production was once used as an index of industrial productivity. Salts of sulfuric acids are called sulfates .

Sulfuric acid
Sulfuric (or sulphuric) acid, H2SO4, is a strong mineral acid. It is soluble in water at all concentrations. It was once known as oil of vitriol, coined by the 8th-century Arabian alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) after his discovery of the chemical. Sulfuric acid has many applications, and is one of the top products of the chemical industry. World production in 2001 was 165 million tonnes, with an approximate value of US$8 billion. Principal uses include ore processing, fertilizer manufacturing, oil refining, wastewater processing, and chemical synthesis.
