Vapor Pressure: (Electrolyte) 13 to 22 mmHg@ 25ºC.
Specific Gravity: (Electrolyte) 1.300 @25ºC.
Flashpoint: (Electrolyte) Not Applicable.
Flammability Limits: (Electrolyte) Not Applicable.
Solubility in Water: (Electrolyte) Lead and Lead Oxide are insoluble in water. Sulfuric
Acid is 100% soluble in water.
Other Properties:
Sulfuric Acid: Contact with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also reacts
