The formula you provided for sulfuric acid is incorrect. The correct formula for sulfuric acid is \( H_2SO_4 \).
To determine how many different elements are present in sulfuric acid, we can break down the formula:
- \( H \) (Hydrogen)
- \( S \) (Sulfur)
- \( O \) (Oxygen)
The elements present in sulfuric acid are hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O). Therefore, there are three different elements in sulfuric acid.
