Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a colourless, corrosive liquid found in the stomach and used in various industrial processes. It is a strong acid that dissociates in water, producing hydrogen ions (H+) and chloride ions (Cl-). HCl plays a crucial role in the digestive system, aiding in the breakdown of food and killing harmful bacteria. Industrially, it is used in the production of fertilisers, pharmaceuticals, and metal cleaning. However, HCl must be handled with caution due to its corrosive nature and can cause severe burns if mishandled.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong, corrosive, and colourless liquid with a distinctive pungent odour. It has a boiling point of 108.58°C (227.44°F) and a melting point of -114.22°C (-173.6°F). The density of HCl is 1.18 g/cm³ at 20°C, and it is classified as a strong acid with a pH ranging from 0 to 1, making it highly acidic. HCl is a component of gastric acid in the digestive systems of most animals and is a polar covalent compound that completely dissociates in water to form hydrogen and chloride ions. It is highly reactive and can dissolve many metals, forming hydrogen gas and metal chlorides.
The most common method to make HCI is when salt (sodium chloride) is reacted with sulfuric acid in a furnace. This process produces HCl gas as a byproduct, along with sodium sulfate. The HCl gas is then absorbed into deionised water, forming an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. This solution is then purified and concentrated to the desired strength, usually around 37% for pharmaceutical grade HCl.

1. Production of Hydrogen Chloride Gas
Process:
Chemical Reaction: H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g) + heat
2. Absorption of Hydrogen Chloride Gas in Water
Process:
Chemical Reaction: HCl(g) + H2O(l) → HCl(aq)
Some of the key drivers for the demand of hydrochloric acid include its use in metal cleaning and pickling, where it effectively removes rust, scale, and oxides from metal surfaces, preparing them for further processing. For example, it is used to clean and rinse steel before galvanising and to remove impurities from steel manufacturing surfaces. Moreover, the production of organic compounds like vinyl chloride, dichloromethane, and bisphenol A relies on hydrochloric acid as a key raw material. Hydrochloric acid is also used to control acidity in food products, generate corn syrup, and purify food additives such as gelatine. In oil production, hydrochloric acid is injected into oil wells to dissolve rocks and enhance oil flow, thereby increasing extraction yields. Additionally, hydrochloric acid is used to purify table salt by removing impurities.
