"C10H14N2·H2SO4 is the formula for nicotine sulfate. To make the sulfate salt, nicotine—a naturally occurring alkaloid found in tobacco plants—is mixed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Because of the improved stability and solubility of this formulation, nicotine can be used more effectively as an insecticide and in other applications including research and pharmaceuticals. Nicotine sulfate's exact chemical makeup allows it to function effectively in a variety of industries while providing a strong pest control solution."
