Why sulfuric acid is used in sulphated ash / residue on
ignition test.

Answer Posted / mrutyunjay tripathy

Sulphuric acid is a strong oxidising agent which oxidises
the carbon present in the organic samples resulting CO2 &
H2O and converts the metals into their sulphates which can
be easily extracted to perform the heavy metal test.
