*aka “muriatic acid”*
.
(‘hydrogen’ atom + ‘chlorine’ atom)
(dissolved in ‘water’)
.
*USES* –>
(clean water filters)
.
(“hydrochloric acid” is a colorless, highly pungent solution of ‘hydrogen chloride’ (HCl) in ‘water’)
(it is a corrosive, strong ‘mineral acid’ with many industrial uses)
(‘hydrochloric acid’ is found naturally in ‘gastric acid’)
(when it reacts with an ‘organic base’ it forms a ‘hydrochloride salt’)
(it was historically called acidum salis, muriatic acid, and spirits of salt because it was produced from ‘rock salt’ and ‘green vitriol’ (by ‘basilius valentinus’ in the 15th century) and later from the chemically similar ‘common salt’ and ‘sulfuric acid’ (by ‘johann rudolph glauber’ in the 17th century))
(free hydrochloric acid was first formally described in the 16th century by ‘libavius’)
(later, it was used by chemists such as ‘glauber’, ‘priestley’, and ‘davy’ in their scientific research)
(with major production starting in the Industrial Revolution, hydrochloric acid is used in the chemical industry as a chemical reagent in the large-scale production of vinyl chloride for PVC plastic, and MDI/TDI for ‘polyurethane’)
(it has numerous smaller-scale applications, including ‘household cleaning’, ‘production of gelatin and other food additives’, ‘descaling’, and ‘leather processing’)
(about 20 million tonnes of ‘hydrochloric acid’ are produced worldwide annually)
