Definition and Usage:

Hydrochloric acid, popularly known as the spirit of salt, is a chemical compound formed from the elements hydrogen and chlorine. It exists in the gaseous state under normal pressure and at room temperature. Today, it is used in all areas from iron and steel industry to PVC, organic matter production and food industry. Besides these conveniences, hydrochloric acid actually has a toxic content. Causes damage to many surfaces, including the human body. Care must be taken when handling this acid and necessary precautions must be taken. It has both toxic and irritating effects. Causes skin burns and respiratory tract irritation. To obtain hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas must first be obtained. Hydrogen chloride normally boils at 110 degrees and melts at -27 to 32 degrees.

Hydrochloric acid, represented by the formula HCl, is a compound consisting of a chlorine atom and a hydrogen atom. This compound dissolves as high as 450 liters in one liter of water at room temperature. It gives a color called acid color like other acids. It has a strong effect on bases such as ammonia and sodium carbonate. If hydrochloric acid is dropped into water, it gives H+ ions. As it affects metals such as iron, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, it releases hydrogen. Although it reacts with the oxygen of the air with copper, hydrogen is not released here. Hydrochloric acid also has a rust removing effect. When carbonates react with this compound, carbon dioxide is released. When interacting with organic compounds, chlorinated products can be obtained.
