Abstract
Neutron and X-ray diffraction measurements of liquid sulphuric acid are reported. The aim of the present work is to study the arrangement of the hydrogen atoms in the liquid in comparison with the solid phase. By employing both experimental techniques, the localization of both heavy atoms and hydrogen is possible. We find that the sulphuric acid liquid-structure closely resembles the corresponding solid, although it appears that no connection exists between the structure of a hydrogen bonded liquid and the state of order of the hydrogen atoms in the solid phase.
