Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that sulfuric acid is a well-known strong acid with a specific chemical formula.
Recall that the chemical formula for sulfuric acid consists of hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O) atoms.
Recognize that sulfuric acid contains 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms, which corresponds to the formula \(H_2SO_4\).
Compare the given options to this formula: \(H_2SO_3\) (sulfurous acid), \(HSO_4\) (bisulfate ion), and \(H_2S\) (hydrogen sulfide) are different compounds.
Conclude that the correct chemical formula for sulfuric acid is \(H_2SO_4\).
