• Acid sulphuric, a sufficient quantity to decompose the ammonia fluoride and making the mixture of a semi-fluid consistency. William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
• Water to be frozen is placed in a vessel connected by a pipe to a reservoir containing sulphuric acid. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Mr. Nairne, in 1777, was the first to discover the affinity that sulphuric acid had for water vapor, and in 1810 Leslie froze water by this means. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• By vaporisation, water, ether, sulphuric acid, ammonia, etc. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• A strip of copper and a strip of zinc are placed in a glass containing dilute sulphuric acid, a solution composed of oxygen, hydrogen, sulphur, and water. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Lessening of the atmospheric pressure upon water causes its evaporation, and as the vapour is quietly absorbed by the sulphuric acid the water is quickly congealed. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Small glass globules, containing sulphuric acid, were introduced into the composition of chlorate of potass and sugar, which, when broken, set fire to the mixture and lighted the match. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• These were arranged in boxes, and were accompanied by a vial containing sulphuric acid, into which the match was dipped and thereby instantly ignited. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.

• If a clean glass rod is dipped into very dilute acid, such as acetic, sulphuric, or nitric acid, and then lightly touched to the tongue, it will taste sour. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Then, too, some other chemical, such as bichromate of potassium, or ammonium chloride, may be used instead of dilute sulphuric acid. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
