Hydrochloric Acid or Muriatic Acid : physical and chemical property , preparation , uses , incompatibility
Hydrochloric Acid [HCl] Hydrochloric acid is also known as muriatic acid. Hydrochloric acid is solution of hydrogen chloride. Hydrochloric acid has a distinctive pungent smell. it is classified as strongly acidic. it can attack the skin over a wide composition range. Preparation Concentrated sulphuric acid and sodium chloride heated in cost iron pan then HCl gas liberated . NaCl + H₂SO₄ → HCl + Na₂SO₄ Hydrochloric gas has collected in a chamber where cold water is sprayed cover the gas. the dilute acid obtained. By synthesis Large amount of hydrogen and chlorine gases are obtained as by product by electrolysis of NaCl solution during the manufacture or caustic soda . these cash are drilled and combined to produce HCl. Gas →collected→ spray →cold water →solution of dilute acid in tank Physical property It is a colourless solution has a highly pungent order it is available in many differ...
